Easy Web

Working with websites often involves several steps before you can extract useful information. The easy_web module provides beginner-friendly helpers that make common web tasks simple and easy to read.

A small real-world example

Imagine you want to check whether a website is available before collecting some basic information about it.

from py_simple import is_page_up, get_page_title, count_links

url = "https://github.com"

if is_page_up(url):
    print("The website is online!")

    print(get_page_title(url))
    print(count_links(url))
else:
    print("The website is unavailable.")

Example output:

The website is online!
GitHub · Build and ship software on a single, collaborative platform · GitHub
144

What happened?

is_page_up() checks whether the website is available before doing anything else.

get_page_title() retrieves the title of the page, making it easy to identify the website you're working with.

count_links() counts all the links on the page without requiring you to parse the HTML yourself.

Why use these helpers?

These helpers let you focus on the information you want instead of writing the same networking and HTML parsing code every time.

if is_page_up(url):
    print(get_page_title(url))
    print(count_links(url))

This keeps your code simple, readable, and beginner-friendly.
