I've commented out web scraping and API use in #49 , since the material is optional and we need to think more carefully about at least the web scraping part (e.g. scrapy instead of beautifulsoup)

I vote we leave this out for the first round of the course, since we have much higher priority items to handle at the moment. We should of course add it back in once we have the more important material sorted out, though.

I've also commented out the learning objectives; remember to uncomment when we reintroduce this.

For when we reintroduce, some commentsl left over from an earlier review:

  • R & Py - Is the selector gadget better than built-in inspectors?
  • Format craigslist HTML with correct syntax highlighting
  • Pandas read_html page FileNotFoundError, explain "droplevels"
    • I think we should also build up this method more to highlights its immense convenience, and not say that it is "fantastic" to read via beautiful soup.
  • I think scrapy is both more powerful and intuitive than beautiful soup
  • Twitter images broken
  • Introduce the print function and for loops before using them for tweepy
  • Another data file not found for the tweets

See also UBC-DSCI/introduction-to-datascience#487 -- we should move away from twitter at this point.
