Description: This module provides the following features plus some more:
        
        * getting a url's full history with
        * users who bookmarked the url including tags used for such bookmarks
        and the creation time of the bookmark in YYYY-MM format
        * common tags (up to a maximum of 25) including weight (0...5)
        * getting a user's full bookmark collection including private bookmarks
        IF you know username AND password
        * getting a user's most recent public bookmarks
        * getting a user's full tagging vocabulary, i.e. tags and tag counts
        * HTTP proxy support
        
        The official del.icio.us API does not provide all the functionality mentioned
        above, and in such cases this module will query the del.icio.us *website*
        directly and extract the required information by parsing the HTML code of the
        resulting web pages (a kind of poor man's web mining). The module is able to
        detect IP throttling, which is employed by del.icio.us to temporarily block
        abusive HTTP request behavior, and will raise a custom Python error to
        indicate that. Please be a nice netizen and do not stress the del.icio.us
        service more than necessary.
        
        It is strongly advised that you read the del.icio.us Terms of Use
        before using this Python module. In particular, read section 5
        'Intellectual Property'.
