mwtp 1.0.3

A parser for MediaWiki titles

MediaWikiTitleParser

MWTP is a parser for MediaWiki titles. Its logic is partly derived from mediawiki.Title, and hence is licensed under GNU GPL.

It works as simple as follows:

from mwtp import TitleParser as Parser


parser = Parser(namespaces_data, namespace_aliases)
title = parser.parse(' _ FoO: this/is A__/talk page _ ')

print(repr(title))
# Title('Thảo luận:This/is A /talk page')

namespaces_data and namespace_aliases can be queried directly from a wiki's API using action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces|namespacealiases:

namespaces_data = {
  '0': {
    'id': 0,
    'case': 'first-letter',
    'name': '',
    'subpages': False,
    'content': True,
    'nonincludable': False
  },
  '1': {
    'id': 1,
    'case': 'first-letter',
    'name': 'Thảo luận',
    'subpages': True,
    'canonical': 'Talk',
    'content': False,
    'nonincludable': False
  },
  ...: ...
}

namespace_aliases = [
  { 'id': 1, 'alias': 'Foo' },
  ...
]
