antononcube @Coke Halo 17:09
tonyo tbrowder__: happy new years! you're always welcome to hit me with a pm 18:10
tonyo librasteve antoncube, fwiw i generally use the python libs for scraping. the perl one has some issues, or did when i was using it to scrape google flights prices 18:11
jdv mojo hasbeen good for me for static scrapes 18:35
otherwise puppeteer 18:36
lately
tonyo static scrapes i just use perl's web::scraper 19:53
or rakus, but it's pretty rare for me to scrape static pages
in fact, since i wrote raku's 19:54
librasteve ah, which python scraper do your prefer? 19:59
tonyo i use selenium with python 20:05
librasteve okay - tx! 20:07
[meaning I have been going that way myself so may be able to work up raku-selenium] 20:09
which driver do you use?
tonyo i use the chrome driver, have also used FF but i use FF personally so i try to use chrome to avoid any mix of the two 20:11
use FF personally for regular web browsing
antononcube @tonyo I cannot install "Web::Scraper" on macOS. (Installation hangs.) Should file an issue on GitHub? 20:18
[Coke] I think the hang might be due to the old URLS in t/02_http.t 20:40
oh, sorry, we're not pulling those from the web, but from another file 20:41
it's hanging on the scrape() call 20:42
antononcube @Coke Thanks! 20:53
tonyo yea it might just take a really long time, yea you can add an issue and i'll take a look when i have time
antononcube ok 20:58
[Coke] I started one running with a timer and we'll see. 21:02
(I'm on an m2 here.)
it is chewing a single CPU, so something's happening 21:03
tonyo iirc the html normalzation takes a while 21:49
it's likely due for an overhaul now that libxml bindings exist
