Hi! I write and maintain a project "Bookamrks Database and Internet robot" (detailed announce after quotations). It is not exactly what you want, but I have plans to add Oedipus to my list of databases. Probably there are fields we may cooperate. I am very short on time these days :( On Mon, 11 Sep 2000, [iso-8859-1] JŠ¬rgen Skogstad wrote:
I've been looking into something this weekend. I need somehting that can handle my link database etc. and list them through Zope on a regular basis.
I was looking at Oedipus which can create "semi-xml" DMOZ like directories which would suffice for v0.1b of my product. I was thinking of using Oedipus and store them in the database there and generate a new xml-like-structure every day through some cron script.
.. what I was hoping for is to use the LocalFS product for Zope and some kind of python "product" (which I need to make to fit into Zope) which can parse this .. sort of like the *.cgi script which followed with the Oedipus installation.
By doing this; I can generate DMOZ/Link databases that show information about the site; when it was checked last, updated etc. etc.
My questions are as follows; * How do I generate a package of some pythong scripts? * Are there any better ways of parsing and putting this xml-like file under "Zope control" ..
* Are there any XML products for Zope that can get a file from an url .. and parse this with some python scripts to generate a yahoo type listing?
Would apriciate any input!
BOOKMARKS Database and Internet robot WHAT IS IT Here is a set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Netscape Navigator, but I need more features, so I write and maintain these programs for my needs. I need to extend Navigator's "What's new" feature (Navigator 4 named it "Update bookmarks"). WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0 Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage managers, writers and robots. WHAT'S NEW in version 3.1.2 Minor speed improvements in parser (just removed debug output if not in debug mode). New program check_dups.py prints a list of duplcat URLs in the DB.
