Introduction to web scraping with Python
It is making one mistake, it is parsing and scraping in the same loop. You should pull the data, store them and have another process accessing the data store and perform the parsing and understanding of the data. A "quick" parsing can be done to pull the links and build your frontier, but the data should be pulled and stored for the main parsing.This allows you to test your parsing routines independently of the target website, this allows you to later compare with previous versions and this allows you to reparse everything in the future, even after the original website long gone is.My recommendation is to use the WARC archive format to store the results, this way you are on the safe side (the storage is standardized), it compresses very well and the WARC are easy to handle (they are immutable store, nice for backups).
