historic grail python browser "semi-recovered"
in [Python]
|
From: lkcl on 9 Jun 2010 17:29 um, please don't ask me why but i found grail, the python-based web browser, and have managed to hack it into submission sufficiently to view e.g. http://www.google.co.uk. out of sheer apathy i happened to have python2.4 still installed which was the only way i could get it to run without having to rewrite regex expressions (which i don't understand). if anyone else would be interested in resurrecting this historic web browser, just for fits and giggles, please let me know. l.

"historic, archaic, dinosaur-driven, vastly-overrated but one-of- a-kind and without precedent before or since" web browser... l. p.s. except for paul bonser's "pybrowser" which he's delayed working on, despite a heck of a lot of groundwork.

(or send me a copy and I'll do it)

Hi lkcl, My current conquest to bring a new (or fix the current GUI) in Python's stdlib is receiving much resistance. I many need a project to convince my opponents of my worth. Tell you what i do, send me a text file with a pathname and all the line numbers that have broken regexs using a common sep --space is fine for me-- and i'll fix them for you. Here is a sample... script1 0 21 203 script2 36 37 300 322
