Is it possible to define the username and password so you don’t need to type that in everytime you run the script?

def fill(text, width):
return text.ljust(width)[:width]

It’s not as clear, but works great.

/dev/null”);
preg_match(‘#]*>(.*?)#i’,$data,$matches);
echo $matches[1];

PHP represent! j/k…

This seems like a very interesting site. Unfortunately, the color scheme makes it difficult to read. Small white letters on a black background does not seem to produce a legible result. It may of course be my browser, at least in part, but I do not think the browser explains everything.

Debarshi: I have seen that script by Adrian. It’s basically a screen-scraper. Let me see if I can do something with the feeds.

In fact I came across a Python snippet to get the contents of the mails in GMail. It also had support for getting the contents of the address book. http://www.holovaty.com/code/gmail.py

However the problem seems to be that urllib2 which has proxy support (it works for me too), does not support HTTPs over a proxy.
