searchr.py - inspired by catonman

I have been searching about 'how to automate searching in net' and then I found really interesting thing. I saw http://www.catonmat.net. On this site, author wrote a nice "hack" for implementing a kind of 'google-searchr code' in python. I thought about possibilities which its gave me. And thats how I wrote...

from xgoogle.search import GoogleSearch, SearchError # szukanie
import sys # argz
import socket # gniazda
from time import sleep # spanie na googlach
from urllib import FancyURLopener # UAaaaaaaa
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
print ‘\n-=[ searcher ]=-\n’
print ‘usage: python searcher.py what2find…\n’
try:
gs = GoogleSearch(sys.argv[1])
gs.results_per_page = 100
results = []
while True:
tmp = gs.get_results()
for res in results:
print res.url.encode(„utf-8″) # wyswietla tylko urla
sleep(9)
if not tmp: # brak wynikow
break
results.extend(tmp)
# wyjatki/bledy
except SearchError, e:
print „Search failed: %s” % e

Its of course just a simple example and was made for fun only. Anyway I wish You luck in python learning and programming.
*todo:
- sths wrong with searching (google drop some request; sleep()?)
- make searching more ‘unix style’ – uniq to implement
- add google hacks (filetype, etc)
