This is a Google library called 'xgoogle'. Current version is 1.1.

At the moment it contains:
 * Google Search module xgoogle/search.py.

 * Google Sponsored Links Search module xgoogle/sponsoredlinks.py

Here is an example usage of Google Search module:

    >>> from xgoogle.search import GoogleSearch
    >>> gs = GoogleSearch("catonmat")
    >>> gs.results_per_page = 25
    >>> results = gs.get_results()
    >>> for res in results:
    ...   print res.title.encode('utf8')
    ... 

    output:

    catonmat - Google Code
    ...

The GoogleSearch object has several public methods and properties:

    method get_results() - gets a page of results, returning a list of SearchResult objects.
    property num_results - returns number of search results found.
    property results_per_page - sets/gets the number of results to get per page.
    property page - sets/gets the search page.

A SearchResult object has three attributes -- "title", "desc", and "url". They are Unicode strings, so do a proper encoding before outputting them.

Here is an example usage of Google Sponsored Links Search module:

    >>> from xgoogle.sponsoredlinks import SponsoredLinks, SLError
    >>> sl = SponsoredLinks("video software")
    >>> sl.results_per_page = 100
    >>> results = sl.get_results()
    >>> for result in results:
    ...   print result.title.encode('utf8')
    ...

    output:

    Photoshop Video Software
    Video Poker Software
    DVD/Video Rental Software
    ...

The SponsoredLinks object has several public methods and properties:

    method get_results() - gets a page of results, returning a list of SearchResult objects.
    property num_results - returns number of search results found.
    property results_per_page - sets/gets the number of results to get per page.

A SponsoredLink object has four attributes -- "title", "desc", "url", and "display_url".

Version history:

v1.1:  * added Google Sponsored Links Search.
       * fixed a bug in browser.py that might have thrown an unexpected exception.

That's it. Have fun! :)
