I myself have not used Grab for many years. I am not sure it is being used by anybody at present time. Nonetheless I decided to refactor the project, just for fun. I have annotated whole code base with mypy type hints (in strict mode). Also the whole code base complies to pylint and flake8 requirements. There are few exceptions: very large methods and classes with too many local atributes and variables. I will refactor them eventually.
The current and the only network backend is urllib3.
I have refactored a few components into external packages: proxylist, procstat, selection, unicodec, user_agent
Feel free to give feedback in Telegram groups: @grablab and @grablab_ru
- Refactor source code to remove all pylint disable comments like:
- too-many-instance-attributes
- too-many-arguments
- too-many-locals
- too-many-public-methods
- Make 100% test coverage, it is about 95% now
- Release new version to pypi
- Refactor more components into external packages
- More abstract interfaces
- More data structures and types
- Decouple connections between internal components
That will install old Grab released in 2018 year: pip install -U grab
