starting with ‘Python’ • Get the next byte offset of the next page via offsets.searchsorted() • Adjust them (start – 7 bytes, end – 11 bytes) • …and return a JSON of [ [‘<title>’, starting_byte, ending_byte] ] • Web client then does a HTTP ranged request against /xml to grab the relevant XML fragment • Or, http://laptop/wiki/Python for exact lookup Does all of the above but issues the range request as well if there’s an exact hit, returning the fragment in one • Non-trivial app that does something half useful, good use case • Exercises external C modules (NumPy, Cythonized datrie, etc) • Not something you could easily do with existing solutions (multiprocessing) (Could you?)
