Under the hood

Fetching algorithms are written as plugins in the fetcher directory. They make use of urllib.request, so fetching online data is easy, cookie-aware connection is used by default. Fetchers parse HTML, XML and even Word (using external program Antiword) documents using lxml.etree, mainly by the means of XPath. New/modified XPath queries can be easily tested online at http://videlibri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xidelcgi.
