###Requirements The Requests and BeautifulSoup libraries are required.

###Usage

python topsites.py COUNTRY-CODE TOP-N

• COUNTRY-CODE: should be the 2 character ISO_3166-1 style
• TOP-N: the number of top sites to fetch
• Results are a space separated RANK, URL pair per line

Example

./topsites.py ZA 25
