Usage

Simply import wptools to get started.

>>> import wptools

You can instantiate one of the following:

• Page object to get info about a Mediawiki page
• Category object to get info about Mediawiki categories
• Site object to get Wikimedia site info

The optional flags and arguments below work for page, category, and site objects.

Object data echoes automatically. You can turn that off with silent=True:

>>> page = wptools.page(silent=True)

HTTP request/response details echo to stderr with verbose=True:

>>> page = wptools.page(verbose=True)

All request actions support setting proxy and timeout (in seconds):

>>> page.get(proxy='http://example.com:80', timeout=5)

You can skip request actions using skip:

>>> page = wptools.page(skip=['claims', 'imageinfo'])
