htmlSQL: a charming idea
Use SQL syntaxe to access elements in an HTML page. Nice, concise and may-be a very useful idea. That’s what Jonas David John did in his htmlsql class (written in php) wich internally uses regular expressions to parse the html content.
This may be a nice idea to implement in python too, though we have nice tools in python such BeautifulSoup. Anyway, for well formed html (i.e. valid xml), nothing is better than xslt and xpath ;-)
