对howdoi的一个简单分析。

曾经看到过下面的这样一段js代码：

try{
    doSth();
}
catch (e){
    ask_url = "https://stackoverflow.com/search?q="
    window.location.href= ask_url + encodeURIComponent(e)
}

howdoi基本就是把这个流程做成了Python脚本。其基本流程如下：

• step1：利用site语法组装搜索语句(默认指定搜索stackoverflow网站)
• step2:利用google搜索接口获取搜索引擎第一页排名第一的连接
• step3：访问该链接，根据排名从高倒下，提取代码块文本
• step4：提取到就显示到终端，没有提取到就提示未找到答案

当然，howdoi也作了一些其他的工作：

• 代理设置
• 既往问题进行缓存，提高下次查询的速度
• 查询的目标网站可配置
• 做成Python script脚本命令，方便快捷
• 代码高亮格式化输出

更多分析请看代码注释：
