Nice post on extracting data, simple and too the point :), I use
python for simple html extracting data, but for larger projects like
the web, files, or documents i tried <a href="http://
www.extractingdata.com">extract data</a> which worked great, they
build quick custom screen scrapers, extracting data, and data parsing
programs

You don't happen to be affiliated with that commercial venture?

Which seems to be shady, to say the least. No real address, dns
registered by a rather shady provider... better steer clear from this,
and use lxml.
