This is a remake of one of my first ever non-trivial Python scripts for a popular comic page poorlydrwanlines.com.

I've decided to give it another shot because I feel like I've learned a thing or two over the past year and the initial script lacks in certain areas.

Here's a list of some the major changes and improvements over the first edition.

What's new?

1. The script comes with a pre-loaded JSON to speed up scraping but also allows to narrow down the scraping scope to e.g. a year and/or a month and gives a nice little peek into the statistics (Still to be implemented)
2. The scraping algorithm has been updated and now supports LXML and XPath.
3. A new, colorful logo is there to great you each time you launch the script. Long live the ASCII art!

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• requests
• colorama
• lxml

Create a new virtual environment with Python 3.6+ and then just type:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
