Project: “I’m Feeling Lucky” Google Search

[Truman]

Larz, I was finally able to bundle lucky1.py file by removing os.py that was in the same folder from some previous coding. But the problem is that command prompt opens for a second ( I see three printed lines: Googling, url..., 200).
Does this mean that program should be better designed for user? Maybe I should first ask a question with input?

#! python3
# lucky1.py - Opens several Google search results.
  
import webbrowser
import bs4 
import requests
import sys

client = input("Hi! Please add search term: ")
 
def my_func(search_str):
    print('Googling...') # display text while downloading the Google page
    url = 'http://google.com/search?q=' + ' '.join(search_str)
    print(f'url: {url}')
    res = requests.get(url)
    print(res.status_code)
  
    # Retreive top search result links.
    soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, "html.parser")
  
    # Open a browser tab for each result
    linkElems = soup.select('.r a')
    for link in linkElems:
        print(f'link: {link}')
    numOpen = min(5, len(linkElems))
    for i in range(numOpen):
        webbrowser.open('http://google.com' + linkElems[i].get('href'))
 
def test_it(args):
    print(args[1:])
    my_func(args[1:])
  
if __name__ == '__main__':
    test_it(sys.argv)

I added input statement but it still doesn't work after adding search term. I assume that input is taken to be sys.argv?

Or I have to pass sys.argv to client variable instead of test function? Now it makes more sense to me, I just don't know how to do it. :)
