Getting number of hits from Google

[neocortex]

Hello!
For quite some time, I am looking for a solution to the problem of
getting number of hits for a list of, let say, 200-300 words, from a
search engine. I would prefer Google, but this seems not possible. I
tried with the PyGoogle (from http://code.google.com/p/pygoogle/), but
it stops delivering number of hits after 20-50 words.
Please, can anyone help me with this. I am starting to be desperate.

Sincerely,
PM

Is there an easy way to sort a list by two criteria?

[neocortex]

Hello!
I am a newbie in Python. Recently, I get stuck with the problem of
sorting by two criteria. In brief, I have a two-dimensional list (for
a table or a matrix). Now, I need to sort by two columns, but I cannot
figure out how to do that. I read somewhere that it is possible to do:
>>> table.sort().sort()
but it does not work.
Can anyone help me with this?
PS: I am using Python under Ubuntu 6.06.

Best,
PM

Hello!
Thank you all, so much! Now I can do double-criteria sort in at least
three ways. More than I have expected.

Does Pygoogle allows for advanced search options?

[neocortex]

Hello All,
Can anyone help me with the Pygoogle:
from pygoogle import pygoogle
word = u'something'
request_word = word.encode('utf-8')
request = ('%s+site:.edu' % request_word)
g = pygoogle(request)
g.get_result_count()

Now, I realized that domain restriction works (site:.edu etc.), but I
would like to be able to control for language too. Is that possible
with the Pygoogle? If not, how can I make that happen?

Thanks!

Is there any other way to get Google search from Python? I really need
only number of hits.
