Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Search Recipes for Yahoo's BOSS in Python, here is a quick summary:

This entry is a bit of a cookbook for using Yahoo's Python library for accessing the BOSS Mashup Framework. It has full examples for searching the web, images, news , for paginating results, and for limiting searches to specific domains.

Gill,

These instructions appear to not work with Windows XP, but I am uncertain where things are going wrong (is the version of simplejson buggy on WinXP? Or is the mashup framework somehow buggy? Are my instructions buggy for WinXP?). I can guarantee that they do work on OS X and (the majority of, since its hard to make a universal statement about) linux.

I'll try to find a WindowsXP machine to test on, but unfortunately I am traveling for the next few days to go apartment hunting, so it may take a bit.
