extracting title and/or summary of a website

[=?UTF-8?B?4KSw4KS14KWA4KSC4KSm4KSwIOCkoOCkvuCkleCl]

hello friends,
is there any lib in python that provides a mechanism to get the title
of a web page ? also is there anything available to get a nice summary
like the way google shows below every link ?
thanks

It's not part of the standard lib but I really like using
BeautifulSoup for this kind of thing:

from urllib import urlopen
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

html = urlopen("http://www.google.com" ).read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(h tml)

print soup.title # '<title>Google </title>'
print soup.title.rend erContents() # 'Google'
