Hello. I am new to this list. I hope there is some activity on here? I have a (very rough, I admit it) script using pyGoogle that runs on the command line and can be found on my web site at www.awaretek.com/plf.html . It takes questions from users and options to decide amongst. There are also two online CGI versions there that are easy to try out, first a "simple" one that takes a question and options to choose from amongst only, then a second more "sophisticated" version that tries to emulate the full command line version; but it doesn't get as good of answers yet. So the command line version (merlina.py) is the one I am hoping someone from this list might take the time to look at. I need to refine the CGI versions. I am a but a poor coder but it's a fun hobby. I love pyGoogle and Python. Pleas let me know if you have any suggestions. Maybe someone can build something better from the ideas I am trying out? If not, I hope to be able to spend some time during the late December holidays to refine and improved Ask Merlin, both the command line version and the CGI versions. By the way, I originally did these scripts using web scraping techniques, but of course as Google (and then Yahoo, which I switched to) kept changing things the scripts that once worked kept breaking. It was way too much work to waste time keeping up with. But now that I switched to the Google API, it makes a lot more sense ;-)). Only problem is, today I already used up all of my 1000 queries, in debugging my CGI versions of the scripts. ;-((( Anyway, don't expect too much, but if anyone looks at the scripts, I'm eternally grateful Ron Stephens www.awaretek.com/plf.html |
