With Python, the following modules may be helpful: urllib, urllib2,
urlparse, mechanize, and BeautifulSoup.  The last 2 are not included but
you can install them with the easy_install utility or via the Python
package index at python.org.

Hello list,
I've seen a few scripts that will connect to a site, (weather for example), send the zip and somehow parse the weather out of the data returned. 
Any pointers on where to get started? I'm totally lost here.


Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
