Message from administrator: (2008-07-11) Dear all five of you - i am actively working on rewriting this site (from quixote to django if you care) and moving it to another server, and hope to complete those tasks this month. I'll post an update when testing or downtime is imminent. Fyi, -dchud

with tags
Webstemmer is a web crawler and HTML layout analyzer. It extracts articles from news sites as plain text and removes banners, ads and/or navigation links automatically. You only need to give a URL of the top page of a site and it works in an almost fully automatic way with little human intervention.

11:19   python-pgsql bindings
with tags
Based on PyGreSQL but feels more solid, includes a bulkload() capability which likely uses pg's COPY command - very fast for large initial imports. Prepared statement support, unlike psycopg2 - all in all pretty solid despite being a new offshoot.
