[Slim]

I have no idea where to start as i'm new to python. (I know the basics though.)

Here is some psuedo-code to help understand what I want to do.


Go to [webpage]
Refresh [webpage] every 10 seconds
if a certain number value is found, email me (repeatedly) [meaning for each unique value it finds, email me]
else, keep refreshing

<?php

import time
import re
import smtplib

def gmail( info):
  /*SEND INFO*/


while True:
    data = urllib.open("URL").read()
    unique = re.findall("REGEXFORVALUE", data)
    for x in unique:
         gmail( x)
   time.sleep(10)

Thank you so much! Question, under "SEND INFO" I don't exactly know what to put. Say my email was [email protected], how would I go about it?

Hey maybe my example code here will point you in the right direction.

PHP Code


<?php 
import urllib2
import re

def getreddit():
    url = "REDDITDOTCOMHERE/"
    request = urllib2.Request(url)
    handle = urllib2.urlopen(request)
    readhandle = handle.read()
    readhandlestr = str(readhandle)


    # Look for any characters in between " <p class="title"><a class="title may-blank ""
    # and " a>' " , that match the regular expression pattern, which is " .+? ".



    parse1 = re.findall(r'<p class="title"><a class="title may-blank "(.+?)a>', readhandlestr)
    parse1string = str(parse1)

    parse2 = re.findall(r'\s>(.+?)</', parse1string)
    for text in parse2:
        print text



getreddit()
