Search Engine Specific for Python

Speaking of really specific search engines -- Python Search searches for information relevant to the programming language Python. You can use it at http://www.voidspace.org.uk/cgi-bin/pysearch/search.py .

I did a couple of searches and got good results. The results page mentions that the word python is added to all the searches, so I thought incredulously that that might be all that's happening here. But I did a couple of extra searches and didn't manage to fool it. Then I noticed at the bottom that it's also limiting its searches to domains; over 850 at this writing.

It looks like this was built of Yahoo so you can do some Yahooesque special syntax; beware of more than general site searches (site:edu) because the search is limited by a certain number of domains. testing links to different Python resources would be an interesting variable.

If you have a general interest in Python you may want to back up and visit http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml, which is a set of information on Python including programs, snippets, and a blog.
