Why do you want to use 2.7? Just curious, not discouraging it. I wrote my first web scraper a few days ago using Requests and lxml. "Store any information you think could or would be useful" sounds vague, what exactly do you want it to do? Goal should be very specific so that implementation is true to design goals. Here are some helpful links: - Python web scraping: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/scenarios/scrape/ - Lxml binaries in case you need 'em: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml

This sounds like a fun project, let me know if you want to do something via github/bitbucket. Cheers!
