Python: Batteries And a robots.txt Parser Included


Posted

I love Python.  I really love Python.  I’m working on a little project that should really obey robots.txt. I hit up google to see if there was any code out there for me to take a look at or if I was going to have to write a little code to handle robots.txt. Of course, one of the first things that I stumbled upon was robotparser, a module that does just that.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, all I have to do is import robotparser and use the code that has already been written for me.  Python’s Standard Library absolutely rules.
