I have made available a Pythong source version of Get Drupal Records

The original description:
Here is a utility program for Drupal programmers:

I got really tired of perusing Drupal theme and module records on-line and using the Drupal.org's search utility which, frankly, could use some improvements.

So, I wrote "GetDrupalRecords" (available at http://www.strassner.com/drupalpgming), which will allow you to download all themes and/or module summaries to a single local file, or multiple local files, on your hard drive. You can also choose to eliminate the releases tables, or leave them active.

I originally wrote this as practice for PYTHON programming, but translated it into C++ under Borland C++Builder and created a front-end for it. Although this particular release is for PCs (an EXE file), I will be making the PYTHON source code available soon so it can be used on OSX, although it will not have a front end. The PYTHON source will be included in case anyone really wants to make a front end for it for OSX, otherwise it will run under a PYTHON interpreter.

Why use this program? Because searching for and perusing themes and modules is MUCH faster locally, no matter what kind of internet connection you have.

The Rocking Over 40 ( http://rockingover40.com ) community musician site for mature musicians 40 + is now up and running! Thanks so much to the Drupal community for your knowledge and support!

On Tuesday 2010-01-12 from 5:00PM to 6:00PM Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8), drupal.org will be down for scheduled maintenance. We will be rebooting our main file server for security updates and preparing to transition to a highly-available file server. This reboot should not take the entire window, but is more likely to take around 30 minutes. We appreciate your patience.

Program is well tested, but still a beta version 1.0b for another week or so and unless I get any bug reports.

Here is what's in the readme file:
