Lab needs a crawler to download some assets, none of my business though

But why not

Haven't touched crawler for two years

Google for latest state of art

Found scrapy

I have to define a class for a crawling script?

Got scared

Went back to beautifulsoup and request

Got the job done in 20 mins

Fuck yeah

    Remember the first time I dealt with beautifulsoup. Having just extracted exactly the tag I needed I was like: Man, this is so much easier than using regex!

    Ahh, those days.

    @K-ASS obviously, these days I know parsing HTML by Regex is impossible, but this was like, 5 years ago, and all I wanted was to extract a tag with a specific id and/or class to rip :P

    Still didn't manage to, because I sucked at regex back then xD

    @Aldar I know you said that was years ago, I just thought this was so related to that question
