I've been tasked with creating a cookie audit tool that crawls the entire website and gathers data on all cookies on the page and categorizes them according to whether they follow user data or not. I'm new to Python but I think this will be a great project for me, would beautifulsoup be a suitable tool for the job? We have tons of sites and are currently migrating to Drupal so it would have to be able to scan Polopoly CMS and Drupal.
I don't think you need BeautifulSoup for this. You could do this with urllib2 for connection and cookielib for operations on cookies.
