it is very nicely done, and very simple. Though I'm wondering why the default, or only option is to download the pdf's rather than have them open in a new window?

I see the 'download' buttons, but was expecting a click on the link to open the pdf, not download it. I don't need a download folder chock full of pdfs

Otherwise, a really nice site.

Stop with the google-wrapper spam! This has got to be the 10th time these guys have pushed one of their domains to the front page. Here's just a few (some dead):

2 Suggestions:

1)Result Snippet summary can probably be improved, see google results for pdf files for python - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=filetype%3Apdf+pyth...

2)Website Info(domain name,url etc..) having the download link can be displayed alongside each of the search results.
