Hi,

I wonder if there is a nice way to extract a whole HTML table and have the
result in a nice structured format. What I want is to have the lifetime
table at the bottom of this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases (then figure out with
a script until when my Ubuntu release is supported).

I could do it with BeautifulSoup or lxml but is there a better way? There
should be :)

Thanks,

Laszlo
