Hello! Bookmarks Database and Internet Robot WHAT IS IT A set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Mozilla, but I need more features. I want to extend Mozilla's "Check for updates" feature (Navigator4 called it "Update bookmarks"). WHAT'S NEW in version 3.4.0 (2004-09-23) Extended support for Mozilla; keywords in bookmarks. Updated to m_lib version 1.2. WHAT'S NEW in version 3.3.2 parse_html.py can now recode unicode entities in titles. WHAT'S NEW in version 3.3.0 Required Python 2.2. HTML parser. If the protocol is HTTP, and there is Content-Type header, and content type is text/html, the object is parsed to extract its title; if the Content-Type header has charset, or if the HTML has <META> with charset, the title is converted from the given charset to the default charset. The <HEADER> is also parsed to extract <META> tag with redirect, if any. WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0 Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage managers, writers (DB dumpers/exporters) and robots.

Parse downloaded file and get javascript redirects. More and better documentation. Merge "writers" to storage managers. New storage managers: shelve, SQL, ZODB, MetaKit. More robots (URL checkers): threading, asyncore-based. Configuration file to configure defaults - global defaults for the system and local defaults for subsystems. Ruleset-based mechanisms to filter out what types of URLs to check: checking based on URL schema, host, port, path, filename, extension, etc. Detailed reports on robot run - what's old, what's new, what has been moved, errors, etc. WWW-interface to the report. Bigger database. Multiuser database. Robot should operates on a part of the DB. WWW-interface to the database. User should import/export/edit bookmarks, schedule robot run, etc. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
