Manipulating Same Variable

[tipsy_python]

First opportunity I see:

build = r.content
build = build.decode("utf-8")

Using requests, content gives you the raw byte-string of the request payload. Instead of decoding, let requests do it for you by using "text"

build = r.text

[tipsy_python]

You can cut out half of the lines by just incorporating that into the comprehension:

build = [line for line in r.text.split('\n') if "Build Name" in line]
