[Madison] IDE for Python on Mac
by Davi Post May 9, 2011

May 9, 2011

Hey y'all -- Do you use an IDE for Python? I'm trying another round of looking for a Python IDE. IDLE is pretty flaky, but at least it has a debugger. I tried Eclipse a couple years ago, gave up trying to configure it. Just found The Eric Python IDE <http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/index.html>, but it looks like a lot of work to install. I found this article, with lots of suggestions in the comments. Python IDE Frustration | Musings of an Anonymous Geek<http://www.protocolostomy.com/2010/05/13/python-ide-frustration/> PyCharm <http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/> seems worth a try, costs $99, 30-day trial. Maybe NetBeans? Got any recommendations? Thanks, --Davi

[Madison] Python to accept terms and condition form a website
by Nicola Branzoli May 9, 2011

May 9, 2011

Hey, I am writing a code in python to access public data online (using BeautifulSoup). The task is relatively easy but the code does not get to the page I want because I need to accept the terms and condition of the website first (by a standard 'Click the Accept'). I need to tell python how to automatically accept the terms and condition and proceed to the web address specified. I am new in pyhton, my guess is that I have to use mechanize because cookielib is not good for this job. Am I right? What other resources can I use? Any link with an example similar to my problem would be great... Thanks a lot! -- Nicola Branzoli Ph.D. Candidate - University of Wisconsin Madison William H.
