imageboards

Hey ^EXPERT _PROGRAMMERS
I want to make something that'll archive the imageboards I want. I know the text field is limited to 2000 characters, but what about the name/mail/subject ones? Oh, and how does it work with unicode characters?

Thanks for help, guys!
Oh, and I'm doing this 'project' mainly to learn, since I haven't got much experience in doing stuff with python.

use a regex to grab the contents and attributes of the OP, and a different regex to grab the rest of the posts
(I think) I know what a regex is, but how do you use it to 'grab' things?

I was concerned by the efficiency of that select statement. If you were to save every post, the db would get very big really quickly. Isn't a select statement iterating through the entire table and just checking whether the data matches the conditions?
