Sad, but I like to see how my tasks are faring over time:

<lang python> Rosetta Code Vanity search:

   How many new pages has someone created?

import urllib, re

user = 'Paddy3118'

newpages = [] pagecount = 0 while nextpage:

   page = urllib.urlopen(nextpage)
   pagecount +=1
   nextpage = 
   for line in page:
       if not nextpage:
           # Search for URL to next page of results for download
           nextpage_match = re.search(nextpage_re, line)
           if nextpage_match:
               nextpage = (site + nextpage_match.groups()[0]).replace('&', '&')
               #print nextpage
               npline=line
       if '' in line:
           # extract N page name from title
           newpages.append(line.partition(' title="')[2].partition('"')[0])
   page.close()

nontalk = [p for p in newpages if not ':' in p]

print "User: %s has created %i new pages of which %i were not Talk: pages, from approx %i edits" % (

   user, len(newpages), len(nontalk), pagecount*50 )
