One thing I use/d Python a lot for is with a library called BeautifulSoup. Real good for parsing dirty ass html, easier to navigate DOM than with Tidy. Use it for content scrapers etc, fairly common request when I was in college doin shit ass freelance. Qt/WebKit in C++ works pretty good too, can use css selectors and execute javascript on stuff and such. Wrote a general purpose webbot with it that could be scripted in js a couple years ago but no longer have it :[

They still never fix bug I submitted 2 yrs ago to the day

BeautifulSoup is great albeit a little slow.
