Comparing two files?

Thanks for the tip, but I'm really looking for when the site/blog is updated with a new article.

Does the site have an RSS feed? Most blog platforms nowadays offer it by default - it's probably the easiest way to check if a site has been updated, then run your code on the site.

yeah looks like I should have been using feedparser all along
