Website data-mining.

Hello,

> I'm using Python for the first time to make a plug-in for Firefox.
> The goal of this plug-in is to take the source code from a website

> My question is: How can I retrieve data from a website? I'm not even
> sure if this is possible through Python. Any help?
Have a look at http://www.myinterestingfiles.com/2007/03/playboy-germany-ads.html
for getting the data and at http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
for handling it.

HTH.
