Using PyParsing For Web Scraping, Application Control and Data Wrangling

Presented at DC Python on April 7, 2015

In this talk you'll learn how to use pyparsing, a free Python module, to create and execute simple grammars for web scraping, application control and data wrangling. Dump the nested if statements and get parsing. Oh yes, there will be code, and lots of it, to get you started!
