So instead of doing the maths I should be doing I'm sitting here figuring out how to use the Python HTMLParser lib and listening to the Queens of the Stone Age. First it Giveth is a fucken cool song, though the whole stoner rock thing isn't to everyone's tastes.
The parser is a lot simpler than I orginally thought. I was sitting here trying to plug all this shit into it to get outputs and it turns out it takes care of most of the details behind the scenes. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to tell the program to remove the tags I don't like. Yes, I don't have a fucking clue what I'm doing, I'm learning as I go along. All I know is if I used regular expressions to do this the program would be needlessly long and complex.
