Percolator

Will there be a release of the code for percolator? It seems to do something quite similar to what I want to do but so far I just can't cobble the code together.

Thanks

The Percolator code is quite rusty and dusty. It wouldn't make much sense to share it. However, gathering data from the internet like Percolator is very easy if you use the Web library.

Here are some examples:

# draw a Flickr image in NodeBox:
import web
images = web.flickr.search("rabbit")
image(images[0].download(), 0, 0)

# filter news for keywords:
import web, en 
news = web.newsfeed.parse("http://www.nasa.gov/rss/breaking_news.rss")
item = news.items[0].description
print item
print en.content.keywords(str(item))

# find related concepts on Wikipedia:
import web 
article = web.wikipedia.search("rabbit")
print article.links
