These machines have no common sense; they have not yet learned to 'think,' and they do exactly as they are told, no more and no less. This fact is the hardest concept to grasp when one first tries to use a computer. |

Peteris,
Thanks for sharing this code. I was wondering is there a particular reason why you are packaging the BeautifulSoup module in xgoogle?
Recently I've ran into troubles using a new version of BeautifulSoup with soup2text (http://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/tools/ietfdb/sprint/73/rjs/ietf/utils/soup2text.py) and using an older version fixed the problem.
Did you encounter a similar situation and if so do you know what additions in BeautifuSoup broke your code?
