WikiUtils
===========

WikiUtils provide some utility classes to handle wiki pages.

Usage (retrieving a wiki page by title):

#!/usr/bin/env python
from python.turnguard.com.wikiutils import WikiUtils

wu = WikiUtils()
try:
page = wu.getWikiPage(wikititle="Python_(programming_language)")
for l in page.getLinks():
print l
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
if e.code == 404:
print "WikiPage not found"

Usage (retrieving a wiki page by url):

#!/usr/bin/env python
from python.turnguard.com.wikiutils import WikiUtils

wu = WikiUtils()
try:
page = wu.getWikiPage(wikiurl="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)")
for l in page.getLinks():
print l
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
if e.code == 404:
print "WikiPage not found"


Caching
=========

WikiUtils will use .cache directory in the user's home
to create a cache of downloaded pages and retrieve
the contents from the cache by default.
The full path of the WikiUtils cache is determined by
path = expanduser('~')+"/.cache/python/turnguard/com/wikiutils/"

If you do not want to use the caching system use
getWikiPage(caching=False,...)
