Puedo Code help

[Steve]

Be gentle.  I'm learning Python, but don't know how to approach a project.

I would like to parse out some data in my email / web server (linux) box.

I'm not asking for someone to write the code, but to offer help with the
steps -

For instance, are there modules that can help with this? I would love to
output the results to a web page.  Can Python interface with MRTG?

Maybe I'm being too vague, but I just need ideas to go into a direction.

Thanks
Steve
