parsing results page

[IreStep]

Hi All,

I want to save the top 10 links from a yahoo results search into folders. I can extract all links from the page ok but that is way more than ten (up to 70 due to all the links on the page!), does anyone know if they is anything that distinguishes these top 10 links from the rest of them.

i.e on this page..

http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search;_y...ei=UTF-8&rd=r1

i would want the following html content for these links

1 www.python.org
2 www.pythonline.com
3
.
.
.
10 www.onlamp.com/python

in ten folders. rather than every link from page!!

Any help appreciated.

Thank You

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import urllib
    usock = urllib.urlopen("http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=cinemas+in+dublin&fr=yfp-t-501&ei=UTF-8&meta=vc%3D")
    parser = URLLister()
    parser.feed(usock.read())
    parser.close()
    usock.close()
    path = u"c:\\Users\\Neil\\Desktop\\"
    i = 0
    for url in parser.urls: 
       if i <= (len(parser.urls)):
          print i
          print parser.urls[i]
          page = urllib.urlopen(parser.urls[i]).read()
          f = file(path + u"test" + str(i) + u".txt", "w+")   
          print >> f, page 
          f.close()
          print "Html file successfully printed to file!"

I recommend you to ask this question in general Python forums, since this problem applies in other environments too. This is a simple generic programming exercise and various algorithms can be chosen.
