This group is actually a great source of google-fu enhancements - I believe this is where I found out about "letmegooglethatforyou".
Of course you can do any Google search and then look at what Google puts in your Location: bar. Saving that URL means you can repeat the same search later, but you can also analyze it to find out about some useful tricks (and "letme..." uses the same everything except for the domain name). So your site search would also work with http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aeffbot.org+tkinterbook%2Bpack Of course it would be relatively easy to write a Python program that used the browser module to do this kind of search ... regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
