Hello - need a comprehensive server-based Python application. A web parser allowing:
?
* Clients to login (administrator to assign usernames/passwords)
* Through application (which should work through IE, Firefox, Opera) navigate to any chosen site
* Create their own custom scrapers that:
? ? - mine? selected data from the sites
? ? - parse, then? output to (for now) screen, with option to save results as .csv or .xls files in chosen directory
? ? - output columns should be arranged in the order user determines, with click/drag features to move things around
* Application should allow users to save their custom scrapers and re-use? with either bookmark? reference, or navigable directories in the web page.
* Application should allow for import and use of other python scrapers
Written in Python, the app should use python as the scraping language, and parse with beautifulsoup or something as robust.
This is it, essentially. The application should be frozen when done, and improvements made to it over time.
Thanks!?
## Deliverables
Our / my server is Apache, Linux, Fedora, has Python, Perl, PHP/Mysql and all the standard things that go with. The application should be able to run in this environment.
