Wikipedia is a Python library that makes it easy to access and parse data from Wikipedia.
Search Wikipedia, get article summaries, get data like links and images from a page, and more. Wikipedia wraps the MediaWiki API so you can focus on using Wikipedia data, not getting it.
>>> import wikipedia
>>> print wikipedia.summary("Wikipedia")
# Wikipedia (/wkpidi/ or /wkipidi/ WIK-i-PEE-dee-) is a collaboratively edited, multilingual, free Internet encyclopedia supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation...
