After the 10th time that I've developed a similar capability, I finally decided I should create a public, open-source, Python library for getting the Alexa rank given a URL.
Even though it's not complicated, I imaging many people could enjoy such ability. Also, I'm open for suggestions if anyone requires enhancements.
I'm currently thinking about creating a Node.js web API which provides similar abilities, for those who prefer having this solution accessible in such a manner.
The code can be found on Github.
