Completely agree. As if you are writing pure HTTP.

Have they not improved urllib in 3.x? (I'm still on 2.7.)

Why create a title that contains a term you don't care for but then start your article with an apology for it? There was nothing stopping you from creating a better title... unless of course you actually wanted that title.

What I wanted to do was strike-out the word Ninja, but HTML tags are usually not supported in titles for most blogging and other systems.

I was wondering the same thing. It seemed like you were apologizing for using the word "ninja" since it's disliked by a lot of people around here (I think; I'm no HN veteran).

I enjoyed the post though; it was fun to see how things moved along for you.

p.s. You are missing a closing parenthesis on #39.
