Beautiful Soup: We called him Tortoise because he taught us.

"Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping. Two features make it powerful: 1. Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is usually good enough to collect the data you need and then run away. 2. Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for navigating and searching a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom parser for each application. "
