We are looking for programmers to write a Python script that will scrape/parse information from emails in a specific format.
Your assignment would be to write a script that parses flight confirmation emails, extract specific information from them and converts the information to a well defined format. The script must be generic and work with emails in the same format. You will receive examples, documentation, test data and a test framework to run for compliance.
We’re hoping for a long lasting relation with programmers for more assignments of same/similar character. So a work well done is mutually beneficial.
Deliverables: Script + a setup for when to run the script (pre-set format)
Required skills: Python, Regular Expressions, JSON
If you’ve read and understood all this please include the following in your bid/private message:
1. How long it would take you to complete the assignment (approx.)
2. A description of your experience with Python / RegExp and scraping/parsing
3. Include the word 'winter' in the beginning of your quote.
"Winter"

Winter.
This sounds very well-specced, with acceptance tests. If the emails to be parsed are extremely well-formed, this could take much less time, but I'm guessing there are a lot of fun edge cases to deal with.
I have examples of scraping content from websites, both to power an intranet search engine and a python job board. See my github profile or PM me for details.
