I had never done much web scraping until recently.
Almost everything that I did that involved large data came
from direct network connection, or by download script.
Only within the past year have I been getting really involved in
scraping (Snippsat, metulburr, (and now zivoni)), thanks for sharing your wisdom
in this area it has helped me tremendously. New for me is bs4 select vs
find.
I am now tearing into lxml so that I am aware of all that it can do, and
will do the same next with bs4. I sometimes discover little used gems this
way.
A lesson I learned from my dad as a kid (literally). He often took me with him on
gemological hunts, along with my mother and siblings. One time at Mt. Mica in
West Paris Maine, I was picking through the trailings and found a 150+ carat green
tourmaline crystal that was overlooked. It was almost a perfect crystal, and it had
been overlooked by the mine operators. I got to keep that, and learned a joyful lesson
that remains with me to this day.
I could have just as easily fallen down a mine shaft!
