Thai election ID checking (See related posts)

The online service here aims to help people
check where they are to vote. However, it can be
used as ID certification as well.
# nnnn is the id to be checked
http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=nnnn

Here I make it into a function call.
import urllib, re
def getname(id):
  url = 'http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=' + str(id)
  src = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
  pat = '<H3> *(.*?) *<'
  name = re.findall(pat, src)[0]  # don't use other info
  return name

print getname(5100900050063)  # show a name (one of my relatives)
