hi all,
I've been trying to figure out how to access the archives programmatically.
I'm sure this is easy once you know, but googling various things hasn't
worked. What I want to do is graph the number of messages about PEP 572 by
time. (or has someone already done that?)
I installed GNU Mailman, and downloaded the gzip'ed archives for a number
of months and unzipped them, and I suspect that there's some way to get
them all into a single database, but it hasn't jumped out at me. If I
count the "Message-ID" lines, the "Subject:" lines, and the "\nFrom " lines
in one of those text files, I get slightly different numbers for each.
Alternatively, they're maybe *already* in a database, and I just need API
access to do the querying? Can someone help me out?
Bob
