How to search internet with Python?
python, search
Solution
You have first to read about the standard python library urllib2.
Once you are comfortable with the basic ideas behind this lib you can try requests which is much easier to interact with the web especially APIs. I suggest using it in parallel with httpie to test out queries quick and dirty from command line.
If you go a little further building a librairy or an engine to crawl the web you will need some sort of asynchronous programming, I recommend starting with Gevent
Finally, if you want to create a crawler/bot you can take a look at Scrapy. You should however start with basic libraries before diving into this one as it can get quite complex
Problem
I want to write a program that searches through a fairly large website and extracts certain things. I've had a couple online Python courses, but neither said anything about how to access the internet with Python. I have no idea where I ought to start with this.
