Offtopic: Inputting text with Swype on Android is a breeze once you get used to it.

Hm interesting thought. Any good tutorials/sites I can use to get going on this? Or is it so simple I won't even need that. I find myself scraping a lot, so finding the best lib for that is a priority.

Just tried this out last week. The docs are pretty sparse, but it seems to mirror the jQuery interface fairly closely so if you're familiar with one, you'll have a fair idea of the other: http://packages.python.org/pyquery/api.html

That's the key advantage as I see it. If I'm scraping something it's often in a hurry and I just want it done. Not having to internalise a new API is a significant win in that respect.

I second that, PyQuery is excellent. I've even used it for manipulating an RSS feed: http://pastebin.com/QnF0Li3m
