Disclaimer: I'm not very familiar with any of the things mentioned in the question title. Would it be possible to use a browser control (like Webkit) as a frontend for a WSGI app (using a framework like Flask) without starting a local WSGI server? Basically the requests and responses are managed by a middle layer between the HTML UI an...

I'd like something more robust than using regular expressions that may fail on poorly formed HTML. I've seen many people recommend Beautiful Soup, but I've had a few ...
