I've released tl.googlepagerank 0.1, a package and a script for querying the Google page rank of individual URLs. This is done the same way the Google toolbar accesses page ranks.
The package is available from the Python package index as a source distribution and as eggs for both Python 2.4 and 2.5: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/tl.googlepagerank On a side note, this project is the first to live in the tl package namespace. Should a tl package or package namespace be in official use already, I'm not aware of it and would appreciate learning about it. >From tl.googlepagerank's README.txt: ===================================================== Run the script with any number of command line parameters. It takes each parameter to be a URL to query Google for. Each query may take some time, typically a couple of seconds. These are two sample runs, the dollar character representing your system's command prompt: $ googlepagerank http://www.google.com/ http://www.thomas-lotze.de/ 10 http://www.google.com/ 4 http://www.thomas-lotze.de/ $ googlepagerank http://www.example.com/foobar http://foobar http://www.example.com/foobar RE http://foobar Google page ranks range from 1 (unimportant) to 10 (important). An empty page rank means Google has not yet assigned a rank to the URL. "IO" instead of a page rank means there was an error contacting Google. "RE" means Google's response could not be understood. ===================================================== The code is maintained in a subversion repository at <https://svn.thomas-lotze.de/repos/public/googlepagerank>. There is a ViewCVS view on the repository available at <http://svn.thomas-lotze.de/public/googlepagerank>. The project is also described briefly at <http://www.thomas-lotze.de/en/software/>. -- Viele Grüße, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
