Lobby design has come along. To prevent further delays I'm going to start coding
right now instead of putting it off.

Glad you asked this.
In penetration testing (some may call it hacking) there is a tool you can build using python called a web scraper. My goal is to use just this to gather win/loss information and gather ranking based on that. Basically:
[
Carson Busses
$29.95Knowing this we can create the correct XPath query and use the lxml xpath function like this:
#This will create a list of buyers:
buyers = tree.xpath('//div[@title="buyer-name"]/text()')
#This will create a list of prices
prices = tree.xpath('//span[@class="item-price"]/text()')
Let’s see what we got exactly:
print 'Buyers: ', buyers
print 'Prices: ', prices
Buyers: ['Carson Busses', 'Earl E. Byrd', 'Patty Cakes',
'Derri Anne Connecticut', 'Moe Dess', 'Leda Doggslife', 'Dan Druff',
'Al Fresco', 'Ido Hoe', 'Howie Kisses', 'Len Lease', 'Phil Meup',
'Ira Pent', 'Ben D. Rules', 'Ave Sectomy', 'Gary Shattire',
'Bobbi Soks', 'Sheila Takya', 'Rose Tattoo', 'Moe Tell']
Prices: ['$29.95', '$8.37', '$15.26', '$19.25', '$19.25',
'$13.99', '$31.57', '$8.49', '$14.47', '$15.86', '$11.11',
'$15.98', '$16.27', '$7.50', '$50.85', '$14.26', '$5.68',
'$15.00', '$114.07', '$10.09']
You get the gist.
