All,
I've updated the wiki page with the code I've been using, and smartened up the instructions a bit.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison
The code isn't perfect (for example, I don't think it works with street names which have an apostrophe - there are probably more problems: if you have a fix, just change the code on the wiki), but as all the checking is manual anyway, this shouldn't matter too much.
Also, it is php, not python. You'll need php-cli installed.
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim
The wiki page all seems to be clear until the bit where you “use
custom script to compare data”. Are you going to document the script? Or is it
mentioned elsewhere and I’m missing it? I’m sort of tempted to try doing the
same around me in Essex.
Thanks
Ed

All,
I've just had a go hacking the OSLocator data too for here in Bath. The
results look promising: some streets are missing, some streets are spelt
incorrectly, whilst others have a ref=* tag, but no name=* tag. What I've
done doesn't automatically detect these subtleties of course: it just
compares names in OS Locator with names of ways in OSM for the same area, and
spits out the names which don't appear in OSM.
The results are at:

Hope this will prove useful.

This has been on my todo list since the data came out. I'm hoping to
get to it next weekend during the hack weekend but if anyone else gets
to it first I'll do something else!
