Google Group Scrapper
=====================
.. image:: https://secure.travis-ci.org/mcepl/gg_scraper.png
:alt: Build Status
A small script as a replacement of `the old PHP script`_ for downloading messages stored in the black hole of the Google Groups.
.. _`the old PHP script`:
http://saturnboy.com/2010/03/scraping-google-groups/
How to use it?
--------------
::
sudo apt-get install procmail
pip install beautifulsoup4 PyYAML
python gg_scraper.py 'https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/<group_name>'
Background
----------
I would never start without an inspiration from the comment_ on my previous post on the theme of locked down nature of Google Groups.

Current bugs are filled at my bugzilla_ and new ones can be reported via
email (one of many of my addresses are available on my `Github page`_)

Of course pull requests are more than welcome in the same places as well. Currently all development is done with Python 3.3, but tests are run on Travis-CI for 2.7 and pypy as well.
