Parsing and Manipulating Data

As you might already know, Python can be used as an effective and productive tool to parse and manipulate information from the Web.

This chapter covers modules that support encoding and decoding of data handling formats, which are largely used in Internet applications. Here, I expose you to modules, such as xmllib,sgmllib, and htmllib, which are standard library modules for processing the main markup languages used in the Internet.

At the end of the chapter, you will be introduced to some other modules, such as mimetypes and mimetools, which are used for mail message manipulation, and data conversion.
