IDLE is giving me this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\test6.py", line 13, in <module> res = srch.parse_results() File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\yahoo\search \__init__.py", line 765, in parse_results xml = self.get_results() File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\yahoo\search \__init__.py", line 738, in get_results stream = self.open() File "C:\Downloads\MoS\yws-2.12\Python\pYsearch-3.1\yahoo\search \__init__.py", line 723, in open raise SearchError(err) SearchError: service temporarily unavailable [C:28] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
