A new Internet-search website written in Python
Dear Python-list subscribers, The purpose of this email is to inform the Python-list mailing-list subscribers of an Internet-search website that is run by software written in Python. The website has been in development for several months, and although it is not in a very polished state as of now, its core functions, such as categorizing search engines, are working, and hence it was decided that its existence would be publicly announced. The website allows its users to search the Internet using existing search engines and search functions of existing websites, such as - Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, for general-purpose web searches; - search functions of Wikipedia and Dictionary.com, for searches within specific referential works; and - Google Images and the search function of YouTube, for multimedia-searches. The examples mentioned above are a small portion of supported engines/websites, and currently more than 100 are supported. The website is currently accessible via the following address: http://www.search-aggregator.com/ If you require help using the website, or encounter a problem with the website, please send an e-mail to the following e-mail address: hrg...@gmail.com Help e-mails will be welcome, and problem reports will be appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

But the fact that it is written in Python might be of interest to some people, and that was the reason for the sending of the previous e-mail. By the way, I have noticed that the address in the "from" field in your e-mail is set to "http://phr...@nospam.invalid";. Is this supposed to imply that my previous e-mail is considered to be spam?

So it is not exactly a search engine. The Python code manages other aspects of the website, like URL mapping and generation of navigation items.
