Hello everyone,
I am implementing a chatbot using Python, pyaiml and wxpython for gui.
I want to fetch urls using search engine(preferably Google) and display the fetched result in a textctrl widget. I saw some examples where the program gave url as result. I also read about urllib2 and am currently searching about it, but I’d like to know if there is any way to sort the fetched results and then display them? I don’t want to display any junk content or too lengthy urls. So maybe something like a hyperlink and on clicking it, the link opens in a browser?
Eg:
User:Search for Apples
Bot:Found 1 result. To view the search result, click here
Hence, what I would like to know is, is there any way to display urls like hyperlinks, inside the body of a textctrl object. Also, is there any way to set a default browser for opening the urls or it follows the default settings of OS?
I hope I didn’t mess and complicate the question 
Thanks in advance!

Is the textctrl really what you want?
Check out the wxPython demo and look at the different ListCtrl’s,
e.g. have some description on what you found in one column and the
URL in another or …
Opening URL’s with the default application can be done with the
‘desktop’ module:
There is also which might be of interest for
this.

I was thinking about different options, but textctrl was first choice due to multiline feature. I guess I’ll try the Listctrl and check.

Really grateful for this! Thanks a lot. Though it’s way over my skill-set to implement it, I’ll tinker around and try it out.

Check out the wxPython demo and look at the different ListCtrl's,
e.g. have some description on what you found in one column and the
URL in another or …
Opening URL's with the default application can be done with the
‘desktop’ module:

There is also [http://scrapy.org/](http://scrapy.org/) which might be of interest for
