OK TherR are several problems in there.
First, are you sure you want to define the function getit() inside a
while loop? (I'm pretty sure you don't) And are you sure you want
the function to recurse infinitely - see the last line (I'm pretty sure you
don't)
Next, do you really want page_check()  to sleep for 13 seconds?
(Once per letter in the url)

And you still don't explain why you don;t want to use urlopen?
What advantage does using PAMIE offer? I'd expect it to be slower
and more memory hungry (since it uses IE under the covers).
