Mirror check

This is a script that checks http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html for you and only prints the relevant sections. Be warned - it uses python3.

#!/usr/bin/python3

from html.parser import HTMLParser

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Define the parser

Let me know what you guys think. I was planning on aliasing pacman to 'echo "Should you check your mirrors?" && pacman'. I'd just run the script, but sometimes I just want a -Qi and checking the mirrors then would be annoying.

Re: Mirror check

Hello majiq!

"Let me know what you guys think. I was planning on aliasing pacman to 'echo "Should you check your mirrors?" && pacman'. I'd just run the script, but sometimes I just want a -Qi and checking the mirrors then would be annoying." <- in this case you can use function in .bashrc e.g. instead of alias.
