Ever wondered how python web-scraping libraries compare in terms of speed and accuracy? I'll review lxml, html5lib, BeautifulSoup and scrapy with a series of sites evaluating how quickly they can parse pages and how accurately they can find data, particularly pieces of data that render after DOM loading and other pesky bits like hidden form data, internationalized data and mobile-compliant sites.
Are you a Python-curious programmer? Learn by writing your first project! You'll build a complete quiz creation web application. We will cover topics from data structures and classes, to debugging and testing.
Before the day of the workshop, you will need to have Python 2.7, CherryPy, IPython, and Jinja2 installed. Alternatively, you may arrive at the venue an hour early to receive assistance.
