[moneydance] python modules urllib

[Brock Palen]

This looks like the set_prices.py from the dev site:
http://moneydance.com/dev/set_prices.py

I was going to use that once i had all the site scraping together.

yeah i prototyped it in perl, and then set out to learn python,  with  
the hope I could put it all insize moneydance and not do like you  
describe.

What about doing it all in java?  are all the standard java libraries  
available if I made a plugin?
