referredby

A Python module for parsing referrer URLs, in particular for common search engines.

It's main entry point is the referredby.who method:

>>> import referredby
>>> referredby.who('http://id.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mkg030&p=friendly%20cat')
SearchEngine(name='Yahoo! Indonesia', domain='id.search.yahoo.com', keywords=['friendly', 'cat'])

The list of search engines that it matches is borrowed from Spiros Denaxas's URI::ParseSearchString project.
