[Python-Dev] Weekly Python Bug/Patch Summary

I just scrape the summary page for the time being.  I have a separate script
that allows me add more tag info to my local database (but no way to display
that stuff yet).  For that I do grab the detail page.

Are you parsing the HTML or tearing it apart with regular expressions?  I
make a couple simple transformations on the HTML before trying to match that
make the regular expressions a hell of a lot easier to write.

I'll shoot you a copy in private mail.  I doubt most of the python-dev
readership is interested in this to any great degree.
