A library to guide a web crawl using PageRank, HITS or other ranking algorithms based on the link structure of the web graph, even when making big crawls (one billion pages).

Warning: I only test with regularity under Linux, my development platform. From time to time I test also on OS X and Windows 8 using MinGW64.

pip install aduana

I have started documenting plans/ideas at the wiki.

Single spider example:
