First thing to know is that google doesn't like the User-agent header urllib2 uses by default -- you'll have to masquerade as a browser (google throws a 403 error if you connect as 'User-Agent: Python- urllib/2.5': look into urllib2.build_opener()). Second thing to know is that the interesting results have class attribute set to "l". hope this helps, Michael --- Asking a person who he *is* ... is not Pythonic! --Anton Vredegoor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
