Overview

demiurge

PyQuery-based scraping micro-framework. Supports Python 2.x and 3.x.

Documentation: http://demiurge.readthedocs.org

Installing demiurge

$ pip install demiurge

Quick start

Define items to be scraped using a declarative (Django-inspired) syntax:

import demiurge

class TorrentDetails(demiurge.Item):
    label = demiurge.TextField(selector='strong')
    value = demiurge.TextField()

    def clean_value(self, value):
        unlabel = value[value.find(':') + 1:]
        return unlabel.strip()

    class Meta:
        selector = 'div#specifications p'

class Torrent(demiurge.Item):
    url = demiurge.AttributeValueField(
        selector='td:eq(2) a:eq(1)', attr='href')
    name = demiurge.TextField(selector='td:eq(2) a:eq(2)')
    size = demiurge.TextField(selector='td:eq(3)')
    details = demiurge.RelatedItem(
        TorrentDetails, selector='td:eq(2) a:eq(2)', attr='href')

    class Meta:
        selector = 'table.maintable:gt(0) tr:gt(0)'
        base_url = 'http://www.mininova.org'


>>> t = Torrent.one('/search/ubuntu/seeds')
>>> t.name
'Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Live CD'
>>> t.size
u'695.81\xa0MB'
>>> t.url
'/get/1053846'
>>> t.html
u'<td>19\xa0Dec\xa007</td><td><a href="/cat/7">Software</a></td><td>...'

>>> results = Torrent.all('/search/ubuntu/seeds')
>>> len(results)
116
>>> for t in results[:3]:
...     print t.name, t.size
...
Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Live CD 695.81 MB
Super Ubuntu 2008.09 - VMware image 871.95 MB
Portable Ubuntu 9.10 for Windows 559.78 MB
...

>>> t = Torrent.one('/search/ubuntu/seeds')
>>> for detail in t.details:
...     print detail.label, detail.value
...

Why demiurge?

Plato, as the speaker Timaeus, refers to the Demiurge frequently in the Socratic dialogue Timaeus, c. 360 BC. The main character refers to the Demiurge as the entity who "fashioned and shaped" the material world. Timaeus describes the Demiurge as unreservedly benevolent, and hence desirous of a world as good as possible. The world remains imperfect, however, because the Demiurge created the world out of a chaotic, indeterminate non-being.

Reausable cleaning functions
You can now add a "clean" kwarg containing a function to a field.

This makes it easy to use quick filtering (I want this data to be an int) and to re-use functions such as parsedatetime.

score = demiurge.TextField(selector=".score .upvoted", clean=int)

proof of concept: subitem field

short rationale: Sometimes I need to scrap a page to retrieve the actual links where the items are. I would like a way to nest Item classes, analog (in some way) to a in ForeignKey / ManyToManyField in Django.

This is a first PR as a proof of concept, to discuss the idea and its API.

RelatedItems only work across urls

An obvious use of RelatedItems (or a similar construct) is recursively mapping a comment tree. Right now there's no elegant way to do that.

An example

http://pastebin.com/WDL4RjkE

Reading through the actual code, I think I might be wrong about this. I'll try and make the docs clearer.

Use lib "requests" for downloading

I'm right now making use of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests-cache which creates a cache of the downloaded stuff magically, and it's awesome. So, I would like to be able to take advantage of it using demiurge.

I don't know if just as an option or as a replacement of pyquery downloader.

What do you think?

docs: fix simple typo, ocurrence -> occurrence

There is a small typo in docs/index.rst.

Should read occurrence rather than ocurrence.

Fix when no selector defined
the default selector is the whole page ('html') but this is applied through PyQuery.find wich traverses down. example:

In [2]: PyQuery('<html>hello</html>').find('html') Out[2]: [] In [3]: PyQuery('<html>hello</html>')('html') Out[3]: [<html>]

support self reference in RelatedItem

RelatedItem('self'). Also, the relateditem's item class could be given by its name (i.eRelatedItem("ItemClass")` ) A typical use case is a listing page with a "next page" link.
