Add this as inner function to get_opera_versions? Reason: code locality.

+  response = urllib2.urlopen('https://autoupdate.geo.opera.com/netinstaller/' + channel)
+  try:
+    spec = json.load(response)
+  finally:
+    response.close()
+
+  return int(re.search(r'\d+', spec['installer_filename']).group(0))
+
+class BrowserVersions:
+  def get_chrome_versions(self):
+    response = urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request('https://tools.google.com/service/update2', CHROME_UPDATE_XML))

From experience, this will fail regularly. Currently, this will crash page
generation, not exactly an ideal solution.

I think that we need to store the versions we get somewhere - if we fail next
time we can fall back to the ones we got before. Question is: what would be a
good location for this data?

[Sebastian Noack, 2015/04/30 11:52:46]

Done.

+    try:
+      doc = minidom.parse(response)
+    finally:
+      response.close()
+
+    versions = []
+    for manifest in doc.getElementsByTagName('manifest'):
+      versions.append(int(manifest.getAttribute('version').split('.')[0]))
+
+    return [min(versions) - 1] + versions

I think that hardcoding this here is very suboptimal. This implies that we
support the current Chrome version, the one before and all the unstable versions
- without distinguishing between them. This should really be up to the
requirements page. The return value can look like this:

{
  'oldstable': '36',
  'stable': '37',
  'unstable': ['38', '39', '40']
}

[Sebastian Noack, 2015/04/30 11:52:46]

Done.

+
+  def get_opera_versions(self):
+    stable_version = get_opera_version('Stable')
+
+    yield stable_version - 1 # previous
+    yield stable_version
+    yield get_opera_version('Beta')
+    yield get_opera_version('Developer')
+
+  def get_yandex_versions(self):
+    response = urllib2.urlopen('https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%AF%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81.%D0%91%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D1%80')

[Wladimir Palant, 2015/04/29 17:16:55]

Please use https://api.browser.yandex.ru/update-info/browser/int/win-int.xml to
get current Yandex Browser version. I guess we can ignore previous and beta
versions here.

[Sebastian Noack, 2015/04/30 11:52:46]

Done.

+    try:
+      doc = lxml.etree.parse(response, lxml.etree.HTMLParser())
+    finally:
+      response.close()
+
+    def version_by_color(color):
