hm I'll use the interactive interpreter and try the above suggestions. Herein lies the problem: by my calculations the program takes about 10 hours to run. I work from 8am - 5pm, and apparently the computers network gets shut down at night. I tried running it from the moment I got to work to the end of the day but I encountered an error at 4pm (which I think was caused by the lack of memory). It's relatively computer intensive (so when I'm trying to open other programs and surf the net, the system slows to a crawl), at least on an office computer if you can imagine, so it's hard to get the last couple of industries. I have all the data through Education Services and I've been manually putting each into a separate word document as opposed to one 80mb html that takes 10 minutes to open. (Also because I now have nothing to do except make it exceptionally pretty hah). So, I'd like to just run the program fully at home untouched to get the last few industries, or I'm going to try and edit the program so instead of going through all the industries on get_industry_urls it starts at Education & Training Services (which would solve my problem).
