RE: Project: “I’m Feeling Lucky” Google Search - MoreOvaltinePlease - Jul-04-2019
I've been through this whole thread and everything in my code is working (running the exact code from this thread), except my browser won't launch with search results - here is my output when I run my .py script, which indicates success (code 200). Apologies, I'm probably missing something super obvious here - maybe I'm missing what should be run from cmd?
Output:= RESTART: C:\Users\plenn\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lucky.py =
Hi! Please add search term: NHL

Googling...

Man, I'm having trouble with this project too. I'm getting no search results after passing the search terms into the run window. Here's my code:
#! python3
# lucky.py - Opens several Google search results.
import webbrowser, bs4, requests, sys
print('Googling...') # display text while downloading the Google page
res = requests.get('http://google.com/search?q=' + ' '.join(sys.argv[1:]))
print(res.raise_for_status())
# Retreive top search result links.
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, "html.parser")
# Open a browser tab for each result
linkElems = soup.select('.r a')
numOpen = min(5, len(linkElems))
for i in range(numOpen):
webbrowser.open('http://google.com' + linkElems[i].get('href'))
