Don't google for the definition... google for the answer!

import urllib
import re
urllib.URLopener.version = "Mozilla/4.0"

def fact(x):
    r = re.compile(r"%d ! = (\d+)" % x)
    for line in urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.cl/search?q=%d%%21"
% x):
        m = r.search(line)
        if m:
            return int(m.group(1))
