Problem Set 2.2
1. Palindrome Headlines
Transform the headlines of a newsfeed into palindromes. For example:
"Green energy costs fall" would become: "Green energy costs fall costs energy Green"
2. Web Comics
a.
Take a web page, and automatically make a new webpage with only the images from the original web page. (Extracting image tags using html5lib)
Hint: Use the code from PythonHtml5lib to help you here!
b.
Take two web pages and create a "comic book" by alternating images from the two sources. (Hint: using the "height" attribute on the tag can be a quick way to make different sized images appear with the same height).
3. Total-ly Wast-ed
Take a Gutenberg text and create a new text made up of pairs where the first word ends in "ly" and the second ends in "ed". Some examples then:
totally wasted
finally visited
frankly toasted
Use regular expressions to accomplish this.
Support
Check the cookbook for support! Especially the List Basics page.
