Is it possible to use Google's advanced search options?

[Petar Milin]

Hello!
Thanks so much for the patched Pygoogle!
Also, please, can you give me some more information about how to use 
google search api?
I am a newbie in Python, and I still try to cope with it. Thanks to some 
experience in other
programing languages, I think I progress well, but I am not a 
professional user/programer;
quite far from that.

Best,
Petar
