[Tutor] Code

[Marc Tompkins]

If scraping is what you need to do, Python offers some of the most
efficient ways to do it - but if it's at all possible, I strongly suggest
that you consider using APIs for the sites you want to look at (Python +
the requests library would be my choice for doing that, too.)  Scraping
sites without permission is ethically grey, but quite apart from that it
can get you banned. Playing nice is best for everybody.
