How do I parse a website in python once I know its url?

Question

If I know the url of a wiki site , How do I use python to parse the contents of it ?

Answer 1

This is a very broad question, but the first things to reach for are urllib, which will handle the downloading part, and Beautiful Soup, which will do the parsing. Gluing them together and writing the code to actually extract information from the parse tree is up to you.
