You could do:
 for top_lev_domain in (".com", ".org" ...):
    print top_lev_domain
    if text found print "success"
    else print "unavailable"

Furthermore, you could wrap some code in a function. For
instance:

def is_available(domain):
    [check if domain is avaiable]
    if yes: return 1
    else: return 0

Once you do that, you may use this function from a different
program simply by doing: import module;
module.is_available(domain)
