You will need Python 3 to use this module
# vermin output
Minimum required versions: 3.2
Incompatible versions: 2

According to Vermin, Python 3.2 is needed
Always check if your Python version works with googlesearch before using it in production
Installing

As a Python module
Search
The search class represents a Google Search.
It lets you retrieve the different results/websites (Search.results) and the related searches (Search.related_searches)
How to use
This class is lazy loading the results.
When you initialize it with Search(), it takes a query as the required parameter and the following parameters as optional parameters:

language: The language to request the results in (All of the website won't be in the given language as it is biased by lots of factors, including your IP address location). This needs to be a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code (default: "en")
number_of_results: The max number of results to be passed to Google Search while requesting the results (This won't give you the exact number of results) (default: 10)
retry_count: A positive integer representing the number of retries done before raising an exception (useful as googlesearch seems to fail sometimes) (default: 3)
parser: The BeautifulSoup parser to use (default: "html.parser")

It will only load and parse the website when results or related_searches is called.
parser is the BeautifulSoup parser used to parse the website and .
results is a list of googlesearch.models.SearchResultElement.
related_searches is a list of Search elements.
SearchResultElement
This class represents a result and is initialized by googlesearch.
It holds the following information:

url: The URL of the website
title: The title of the website
displayed_url: The URL displayed on Google Search
description: The description of the website

Extra
Every class has the as_dict function which converts the object into a dictionary. For Search, the as_dict function will convert the other Search objects in related_search to a string with the query.
Exceptions
All of the exceptions inherit from the GoogleSearchException exception.
You can find a list of exceptions in the exceptions.py file
Deployment
