Nodebox web is a collection of python modules to get content from the web. one can query yahoo! and google for links, images, news and spelling suggestions, read rss and atom newsfeeds, retrieve articles from wikipedia, collect quality images from morguefile or flickr, browse through html documents, clean up html, validate urls, and create gif images from math equations using mimetex.

the library uses a caching mechanism that stores things you download from the web, so they can be retrieved faster the next time. many of the services also work asynchronously.
