[Baypiggies] Message sent to Suresh (baypiggies meetup)

[David Knupp]

The problem is worse than people misreading the URL. The original URL now simply redirects to Suresh’s group:

# original URL
>>> url = 'http://www.meetup.com/baypiggies/'
>>> tree = lxml.html.parse(url)
>>> tree.find('.//title').text
'Bay Area Python 3.x Rigorous Indulgence Group (BayPRIGgies) (Palo Alto, CA)\n\n\n- Meetup'


# new URL
>>> url = 'http://www.meetup.com/baypriggies/'
>>> tree = lxml.html.parse(url)
>>> tree.find('.//title').text
'Bay Area Python 3.x Rigorous Indulgence Group (BayPRIGgies) (Palo Alto, CA)\n\n\n- Meetup’
