Re: "Can any suggest a python library to fetch gemini pages for..."
@nikhotmsk fair point. I was trying not to deal with rolling my own and reinventing the wheel, but I understand what you're saying.
I ended up getting ignition to work and included it into my little project. I might look at the Python libraries for SSL one of these days.

@gritty I think you're using the wrong python package for ignition, it's not called "ignition" (which is an old unmaintained package unrelated to gemini, and breaks on import due to an invalid chmod call), but "ignition-gemini". So if that's the case you can install ignition by doing:
pip uninstall ignition pip install ignition-gemini
ignition is a pretty good library, and you can combine it with trimgmi, which can do some gemtext parsing for you.

@gemalaya thanks! I think that's exactly what was happening. I'll check out that other library as well.
Can any suggest a python library to fetch gemini pages for parsing? There's a couple on awesomegemini but wasn't sure if there were recommendations. I tried ignition but the recent commit fails in init with a permission issue (chmod).
