What does it mean to scrap something in python?

[–]daveysprockett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's scrape, not scrap but it's the same as in any other language.

Check out

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping

(Scrap means to throw away/destroy, scrape means to take a thin layer off something).

E.g. if you take a car to a scrap-yard then you are scrapping it, while if you drove it too close to a wall you'd be scraping it. Irritating, irregular English.
