"""crawl.py
This is an exercise in using Trio to asynchronously request a website's sitemaps in a large batch, recursively
visit new sitemaps as revealed in the sitemap structure, then add discovered URLs to a database along with a
flag that indicates those URLs need to be crawled. When all sitemaps have been parsed, the crawler requests a
bunch of URLs (50 or so) at a time and parses the HTTP responses as they are received. The crawler requires a
website to use embed a JSON object that uses either the Article or NewsArticle schema.org convention; I haven't
yet found a news website that doesn't use this convention.

(Python >3.3, ptpython>=2.0.6)
Interactively run a python file from within the ptpython REPL and periodically
poll for changes. When a change is detected, the file will be reexecuted
automatically in the REPL's global scope. In the event that there's a syntax
error, the error traceback will be printed to the REPL.

Based on the example of embedding a Python REPL into an asyncio
application (see: https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython/blob/master/examples/asyncio-python-embed.py)
