Hi all,

My name is Lewis and I'm a 68 year young code-a-holic. I've been retired for several years, and have been attempting to keep my mind young with Windows 10 and Excel VBA. My Excel travels now require some Javascript web scraping, thus my arrival here.

I've been on the board and using Python for about 10 days, using your tutorials to get started. It looks like you guys do a great job. There have been many false starts, which is painful, but a good way to learn.

My successful Python adventures so far include:
a. Hello World
b. Running Python from Excel
c. Redirecting stdout and stderr both in code and from Windows .bat files (stdin to follow)
d. Accessing command line parameters using argc and argv (from Windows .bat files)
e. Basic BeautifulSoup
f. Very Basic Selenium using PhantomJs, Firefox, Chrome, Edge,Internet Explorer 11, Headless Firefox and Chrome
g. Graduating from IDLE to Microsoft 'Visual Studio Code'

Don't worry, when I have questions, I won't be afraid to ask.

Thanks again.

Lewis
