What is this Python project?

It's a framework for scraping HTML sites, and aggregating data from multiple sites from a same category (e.g. banking sites, news sites, video sites, etc.).
There are ready-made modules for popular websites and ready-apps to interact with them.
Think youtube-dl applied to other domains than video!
