That would be good if you are trying with just the search and learning things.

For serious purposes, I would suggest you to look at pygoogle.sf.net,

suggestions comes at the call of a method. Mark Pilgirms book "Dive
into Python" has a section on Web Services where he gives a bare bones
introduction.
