 I just joined the list a little bit ago, and I must say while learning python it has proved to be a resource second to none. I myself am not from a traditional computer science background, more or less financial/economics, & discrete mathematics. I have had courses on MySQL, Visual Basic, matlab,etc.... Plus, I do know more about computers than most people. But, I have began to program in python and learning the ropes, and playing around with IPython(which is def. great!!!). I was reading about creating functions/etc.... in one's library and I followed several examples in books(dive into python+python for Unix/Linux System Administration).

 But in general I wanted to do some data mining with resource retrieval from the internet. I found and have played with beautiful soup, scrapy, and urllib3. I want to be able to retrieve the data and then put it in a MySQL(pyworkbench is what I have), and I was curious of perspectives to look at functions, to help build a multi-faceted library to undertake this task. As well as a couple pointers on the ways one can import python to pyworkbench(I also have SQLAlchemy). I have found the mailing list to be great, and have enjoyed the reading. However, as the books were insightful, and without a doubt helpful found this to be beyond their realm, and this list appeared to be the best resource. Thanks in advance!!!
