        What is Grab?
        -------------
        
        Grab is a python web scraping framework. Grab provides tons of helpful methods
        to scrape web sites and to process the scraped content:
        
        * Automatic cookies (session) support
        * HTTP and SOCKS proxy with and without authorization
        * Keep-Alive support
        * IDN support
        * Tools to work with web forms
        * Easy multipart file uploading
        * Flexible customization of HTTP requests
        * Automatic charset detection
        * Powerful API of extracting info from HTML documents with XPATH queries
        * Asynchronous API to make thousands of simultaneous queries. This part of
          library called Spider and it is too big to even list its features
          in this README.
        * Python 3 ready
        
        
        Grab Example
        ------------
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from grab import Grab
            import logging
        
            logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
            g = Grab()
            g.go('https://github.com/login')
            g.set_input('login', '***')
            g.set_input('password', '***')
            g.submit()
            g.doc.save('/tmp/x.html')
        
            g.doc('//span[contains(@class, "octicon-sign-out")]').assert_exists()
            home_url = g.doc('//a[contains(@class, "header-nav-link name")]/@href').text()
            repo_url = home_url + '?tab=repositories'
        
            g.go(repo_url)
            for elem in g.doc.select('//h3[@class="repo-list-name"]/a'):
                print('%s: %s' % (elem.text(),
                                  g.make_url_absolute(elem.attr('href'))))

            class ExampleSpider(Spider):
                def task_generator(self):
                    for lang in ('python', 'ruby', 'perl'):
                        url = 'https://www.google.com/search?q=%s' % lang
                        yield Task('search', url=url, lang=lang)
                
                def task_search(self, grab, task):
                    print('%s: %s' % (task.lang,
                                      grab.doc('//div[@class="s"]//cite').text()))
