The October meeting of the Python Special Interest Group (PySIG) included a review of BeautifulSoup by Kent S. Johnson and a code sprint to create some scripts to parse the PastEvents topics into Comma-separated value (CSV) files for deeper analysis.

Notes here.

Code here and here.

Results can be see in the CSV links on PastEvents and updates/cleaned-up copies of the data can be uploaded to PastEvents2007, PastEvents2006 and PastEvents2005 respectively.
