Automatic Trackback in pyblosxom

Wari Wahab: To do automatic trackback (in pyblosxom), what could happen is this:

When a new entry is noticed, parse the entry for links
Found a couple? Great, follow the links and look for trackback information, if not found in the current page, try out the RSS and see if the trackback module can be used.
Once we get the trackback ID, ping it with an excerpt of the entry.

I'll leave the "when a new entry is noticed" part to you, but I've implemented all the rest and for good measure added in a pingback client. You might want to tweak the excerpting logic to your needs. Enjoy!
