The Web Robots Pages

Web Robots (also known as Web Wanderers, Crawlers, or Spiders), are programs that traverse the Web automatically. Search engines such as Google use them to index the web content, spammers use them to scan for email addresses, and they have many other uses.

Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol.

It works likes this: a robot wants to vists a Web site URL, say http://www.example.com/welcome.html. Before it does so, it firsts checks for http://www.example.com/robots.txt, and finds:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

There are two important considerations when using /robots.txt:

* robots can ignore your /robots.txt. Especially malware robots that scan the web for security vulnerabilities, and email address harvesters used by spammers will pay no attention.
* the /robots.txt file is a publicly available file. Anyone can see what sections of your server you don't want robots to use.

Installing multiple versions of Python from Source

The first step is to ensure that all dependencies are installed. Run the following once:

sudo apt-get build-dep python2.5

That will install a bunch of dev packages. Which packages get installed will likely depend of each specific system.

As the remaining commands will need to be repeated for each version of python, I will list them once with X's in place of the version numbers. Be sure to replace the X's with the appropriate version numbers. The various versions and download links can be found on the Python download page.

wget http://python.org/ftp/python/X.X.X/Python-X.X.X.tgz

tar xvfz Python-X.X.X.tgz

cd Python-X.X.X

./configure --prefix=/opt/pythonX.X

make

sudo make install

In a couple versions I got some warnings after running make about missing dependencies for things I don't need or use, so I ignored them and everything worked fine. Of course, these need to be on my path to be useful so I created some links:

sudo ln -s /opt/pythonX.X/bin/pythonX.X /usr/bin/python-X.X

While I only needed to do the above once, I needed to install it in each version:

sudo python2.X setup.py install
