ShareWatch Change Log Version 0.3.1 (9th April 2001) - Updated ShareWatchNasdaq module (Enrique Perez) to work with changes in HTML format Version 0.3 (17 January 2001) - Added ShareWatchNasdaq module, with thanks to Enrique Perez for writing code to download and parse prices for Nasdaq. - Each data provider is fully modularised, and the data fetching code runs in its own thread. - Running the ShareWatchClient.py file will connect to the server once, download all the prices, and print them to screen. This is especially useful when testing the server! Version 0.2 (10 December 2000) The folks at telstra.com must have realised that someone was hitting their site a lot! They made a few changes not long after ShareWatch 0.1 was released: - They "banned" the python urllib user-agent. (redirection to a "contact administrator page") - They "banned" watchlists after a certain number of hits. - Watchlists now have a 20 minute delay - The HTML format was changed some time in late November or early December Main changes to ShareWatch are: - Telstra specific code is now in the ShareWatchTelstra module. - It's easier now to write addons for separate sources of share info given the separation of modules - The Telstra module uses httplib instead of urllib, and fakes itself as Mozilla 4.0 compatible - HTML parsing code of the Telstra module has been updated for the new format - The Telstra module, when run, can be used to create you watchlists on telstra.com automatically, based on your UserGroups.txt! This is really cool, as you can just list your codes in the UserGroups.txt file, and create your watchlists automatically. (Be sure to update your config.txt to reflect the usernames for your new watch lists!) See the Readme.txt file for instructions. This is also very useful for when they ban your usernames... simply create more watch lists!
