duckduckgo.py

=============

duckduckgo.py is a simple python module to scrape the duckduckgo search results. The install script will also make available a ddg command line utility that can be conveniently used in a shell pipeline.

A word of warning

-----------------

This code is intended as a demonstration and, as all scraping utilities, should be used with great caution. By default the code will pause a few milliseconds each time it yields a result to avoid overloading the DDG servers.

Usage

-----

It can be used as a python module

.. code-block:: pycon

  >>> import duckduckgo

  >>> for link in duckduckgo.search('duckduckgo', max_results=10):

  ...     print link

Or as a command line tool

.. code-block:: bash

  $ ddg -n 10 duckduckgo

Installation

------------

.. code-block:: bash

  $ python setup.py install
