What you did not tell us was the inside loop. Just put code like
Tino's inside this inner loop:
while i<200:
for domain in domains:
srch.query = "test site:.%s" % domain
while true:
try:
res = srch.parse_results()
break
except SearchError:
time.sleep(10)
print >> k, res.total_results_available
i = i + 1
Or, if you want to to retry a maximum number of times:
max_retries = 50
while i<200:
for domain in domains:
srch.query = "test site:.%s" % domain
retries = 0
while true:
try:
res = srch.parse_results()
break
except SearchError:
if retries < max_retries:
time.sleep(10)
retries += 1
else:
raise TooManyRetriesError
print >> k, res.total_results_available
i = i + 1
