It's been quite a while since I worked on my projects. But recently I had some motivation and energy left, which is quite nice considering my full time university week and a programming job besides.
I have a little project on GitHub that I worked on every now and again in the last year or so. Recently it got a little bit bigger (I have 115 github stars now, would've never imagined that I ever achieve this) and I receive up to 2 mails with job offers every week (Sorry if I cannot accept any request :( ).

But on this site, I will always host a working version with instructions how to use it, such that visitors can always use the script!

Sample output after searching for 'cats are not cute' (sorry) with 100 results per page on 3 ascending pages: results.txt
I always was in need of a fast and reliable working python module to query the google search engine. The google API is rubbish, because they just give you maximally 36 results. This is completly inacceptable!
So, I looked further and found http://code.google …
