title: google search with python requests library
body: <p>(I've tried looking but all of the other answers seem to be using urllib2)</p>
  
  <p>I've just started trying to use requests, but I'm still not very clear on how to send or request something additional from the page. For example, I'll have </p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  
  r = requests.get('http://google.com')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I have no idea how to now, for example, do a google search using the search bar presented. I've read the quickstart guide but I'm not very familiar with HTML POST and the like, so it hasn't been very helpful. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a clean and elegant way to do what I am asking?</p>
