Python script to navigate the Merck professional site. This parses the landing page with the table for the xref between generic and brand name drugs

cleaning of the merck html file that generates the generic vs brand name xref table on the merck website.  Output is pipe delimited csv
leveraged the BeautifulSoup methods and html classes instead of relying on text search

@TBusen Loving your work -- but on the fence as to whether we should include it in the repo since Merck poo-poo'ed us scraping their data. Is it okay with you if we decline and close? I'm honestly not sure what to do here, so if anyone has opinions please jump in.

Thanks for being awesome, @TBusen - I'm sad we can't incorporate it, but really appreciate your efforts!
