While you could use urllib2.urlopen() as Frederick mentioned, there is actually a Python module built JUST for getting info from Google queries! So check out PyGoogle: http://pygoogle.sourceforge.net/ After you install and import it like a normal Python module, you can do things like: doGoogleSearch("thing to query") and get results! Very easy to use. One thing that might throw you at first: You need to get an API key from Google, and use that when you setup the classes. The link I pasted above has all the details. Good luck! -Sam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
