That's fantastic, Eli. I'm a big fan of Why's stuff, although I have to admit that I haven't gotten as far into Ruby as I'd like. Hpricot looks very interesting. I was under the impression that Beautiful Soup was the Ruby screen-scraper of choice, but hpricot's pedigree (and jQuery namedropping) has definitely got my attention.
It's great to have another screenscraping tool. I've also been wanting to try Adrian Holovaty's templatemaker. I'm not a huge Python fan (although RoR's scaling problems are making me think about giving Django a closer look), but this looks like very impressive software to me.
