The goal of this Python module is to extract the main content of a webpage (like Readability for instance).
Ideally it would work on news websites & blogs, and it should work for a vast majority of languages.
The main algorithm is from the paper CoreEx: Content Extraction from Online News Articles by Jyotika Prasad & Andreas Paepcke.
You should note that this is an experiment so I may try different heuristics to improve the results (and so do not fully respect the algorithms described in the paper).
Just drop some articles from your favorite news websites in a directory called tests, (your articles should have the .in.html extension) and run the script, you'll get the content of the articles in *.out.html files.
You can also simply call summary from a Python REPL with an URL if you wish...
