	I am new to programming and trying to figure out python.  

I am trying to learn which tools and tutorials I need to use along with some good beginner tutorials in scraping the the web.  The end result I am trying to come up with is scraping auto dealership sites for the following:  

1.Name of dealership
2.  State where dealership is located
3.  Name of Owner, President or General Manager
4.  Email address of number 3 above
5.  Phone number of dealership

Note:  Many times the Owner, President or General Manager and their email address is under a tab on the website such as "Meet our team" or "Support".  Sometimes this information is not available on the website.

I sure would appreciate any help I can get to get me on the right track.  From what I have read so far, believe I have to use urllib but know nothing about how to us it..

Thanks
