Pomp

Pomp is a screen scraping and web crawling framework. Pomp is inspired by and similar to Scrapy, but has a simpler implementation that lacks the hard Twisted dependency.

Features:

• Pure python
• Only one dependency for Python 2.x - concurrent.futures (backport of package for Python 2.x)
• Supports one file applications; Pomps doesn't force a specific project layout or other restrictions.
• Pomp is a meta framework like Paste: you may use it to create your own scraping framework.
• Extensible networking: you may use any sync or async method.
• No parsing libraries in the core; use you preferred approach.
• Pomp instances may be distributed and are designed to work with an external queue.

Pomp makes no attempt to accomodate:

• redirects
• proxies
• caching
• database integration
• cookies
• authentication
• etc.

If you want proxies, redirects, or similar, you may use the excellent requests library as the Pomp downloader.
