The online service here aims to help people
check where they are to vote. However, it can be
used as ID certification as well.

   1  
   2  # nnnn is the id to be checked
   3  http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=nnnn

Here I make it into a function call.

   1  
   2  import urllib, re
   3  def getname(id):
   4    url = 'http://www.dopa.go.th/cgi-bin/inqelect.sh?pid=' + str(id)
   5    src = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
   6    pat = '<H3> *(.*?) *<'
   7    name = re.findall(pat, src)[0]  # don't use other info
   8    return name
   9  
  10  print getname(5100900050063)  # show a name (one of my relatives)

I spent a lot of time trying to select snippets with
contain multiple tags. (series60 and sql)
There is no '+' links I can click anymore.
After about 10 minutes of trial and error, I find out how.
This also answer another question on correct use of URL.

   1  
   2  # for tag 'series60' AND 'sql'
   3  http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/sql/
   4  
   5  # this doesn't work
   6  http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/sql/
   7  
   8  # all of these work (single tag case)
   9  http://bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/
  10  http://bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/
  11  http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tag/series60/
  12  http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/tags/series60/

My conclusion is that.
For a single tag, use '/tag/...'.
For multiple tags, use '/tags/...'.
The first is quicker to type, while the second is flexible in case you want to filter further.

You can do it by starting browser app given url as a parameter.

   1  
   2  import e32
   3  apprun = 'z:\\system\\programs\\apprun.exe'
   4  browser = 'z:\\System\\Apps\\Browser\\Browser.app'
   5  url = 'http://www.google.com'
   6  
   7  e32.start_exe(apprun, browser + ' "%s"' %url , 1)

Nick Burch also write a webbrowser.py module to allow
using opera and any other browswers.
