Is that so ?

I think it is. Read http://www.google.com/terms_of_service.html

If yes, then we'll have to remove scripts/google.py from the Python distro.

I don't think so -- the google.py code doesn't read the Google output, it tells your browser to read it. Big difference. (urlopen(), on the other hand, would be a no-no.)
