Question

There is a site that uses a comit/meteor server that adds rows to a table they
have in their front page.

I want to listen to the changes and capture any new tr’s that are popping out.
How can i do that in python? i’m fairly new with the language coming from php.

EDIT: here is the website. Notice every few seconds a few new ip’s are populated to the table. I want to listen to those changes and extract the ip and port of all new entries.

Answer 1

I used selenium python binding which imitated the browser with the javascript functionality perfectly. I’ve found out that mechanize was also a good solution with the draw back of having to refresh the page every few seconds (because it doesn’t execute the javascript, only scrapes it)
