Try using BeautifulSoup as your HTML parser. It does a good job of cleaning up the code.

Just realized there is some filter on my gmail that is not letting me get my github notifications. Just checked my notifications and seen this! Thanks for your feedback and looking at my project.

I initially started with BeautifulSoup and had it 100% working. This was my first lesson in Ops and deploying. I chose Amazon Lambda which had MAJOR issues with BeautifulSoup and it's compiled code. I refactored to a total Python implementation which allowed me deploy the scraper code to AWS
