You're apparently talking about http://code.google.com/p/pygoogle/
rather than http://pygoogle.sourceforge.net/ ; the former appears to
have "borrowed" the latter's name without permission. Oi!

The library doesn't seem to have built-in support for filtering by
language (and Google lacks a search query-string-based operator for
that), but it looks like you could implement that feature by adding an
"lr" parameter with an appropriate value to the query `args`
dictionary. See the "lr?" entry under "Web Search Specific Arguments"
on http://code.google.com/apis/websearch/docs/reference.html , and
lines 68 & 102 of pygoogle.py.

Cheers,
Chris
