        Python and command-line MediaWiki access for Humans.
        
        - get an HTML or plain text "extract" (lead or summary)
        - get a representative image (pageimage, thumb, etc.)
        - get an Infobox as a python dictionary
        - get any/all Wikidata by title
        - get info in any language
        - get random info
        
        This package is intended to make it as easy as possible to get data
        from MediaWiki instances, expose more Wikidata, and extend the
        MediaWiki API just for kicks. We say "(for Humans)" because that is a
        goal_. Please see NOTES_ for details. Questions, feedback, and
        especially contributions_ are welcome!

        Usage

            >>> import wptools
        
        
        An instance can be initialized by:
        
        **wptools.page** (self)
        
        - ``None``: <NoneType>
        - ``lang``: <str> MediaWiki `language code`_ (default='en')
        - ``pageid``: <int> a MediaWiki Page ID
        - ``title``: <unicode> a MediaWiki article title
        - ``wiki``: <str> any MediaWiki site
        - ``wikibase``: <str> Wikidata item `entity ID`_
        
        .. _`language code`: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Table_of_Wikimedia_projects
        .. _`entity ID`: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary#Entities.2C_items.2C_properties_and_queries
        
        
        The simplest way to begin is with a title:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> f = wptools.page("Flannery O'Connor")
            Flannery_O'Connor (en)
            {
              lang: en
              title: Flannery_O'Connor
            }
        
        
        The default language is 'en' (English):
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> t = wptools.page('穐吉敏子')
            穐吉敏子 (en)
            {
              lang: en
              title: 穐吉敏子
            }
        
        
        Leaving off arguments invokes a random_ lookup in English:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> r = wptools.page()
            en.wikipedia.org (random) None
            Sylvia_Rivera (en)
            {
              lang: en
              pageid: 3296309
              title: Sylvia_Rivera
            }
        
        .. _random: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Random
        
        
        If you give only *lang*, you get a random_ article in that language:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> zh = wptools.page(lang='zh')
            zh.wikipedia.org (random) None
            哈莉特·塔布曼 (zh)
            {
              lang: zh
              pageid: 211070
              title: 哈莉特·塔布曼
            }
        
        
        You can also start with a *wikibase* item:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> q = wptools.page(wikibase='Q43303')
            Q43303 (en)
            {
              lang: en
              wikibase: Q43303
            }
        
        
        Or, another *wiki* site:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> m = wptools.page(wiki='en.wikiquote.org')
            en.wikiquote.org (random) None
            Malala_Yousafzai (en)
            {
              lang: en
              pageid: 146817
              title: Malala_Yousafzai
              wiki: en.wikiquote.org
            }
        
        
        Instance attributes echo automatically. You can turn that off with
        ``silent=True``:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> r = wptools.page(silent=True)
        
        
        Request details echo to *stderr* with ``verbose=True``:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> r = wptools.page(verbose=True)
        
        
        You can set a `timeout` (in seconds) on any instance:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> r.set_timeout(5)
        
        
        You can set a proxy server like this:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> wptools.set_proxy('http://example.com:80')
        
        
        
        .. _Examples:
        
        Examples
        --------
        
        Get a representative image:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> frida = wptools.page('Frida Kahlo').get_query()
            en.wikipedia.org (query) Frida_Kahlo
            en.wikipedia.org (imageinfo) File:Frida Kahlo, by Guillermo Kahlo.jpg|Fi...
        
            >>> frida.image('page')['url']
            u'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Frida_Kahlo%2C_by_Guillermo_Kahlo.jpg'
        
            >>> frida.image('thumb')['url']
            u'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Frida_Kahlo%2C_by_Guillermo_Kahlo.jpg/160px-Frida_Kahlo%2C_by_Guillermo_Kahlo.jpg'
        
        ..
        
            .. image:: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Frida_Kahlo%2C_by_Guillermo_Kahlo.jpg/160px-Frida_Kahlo%2C_by_Guillermo_Kahlo.jpg
        
        **Note**: A page's image can come from the ``pageimage`` or
        ``thumbnail`` (via ``get_query()``), from an Infobox (via
        ``get_parse()``), from Wikidata Property:P18_ (via
        ``get_wikidata()``), or from the RESTBase ``image`` or ``thumb`` (via
        ``get_rest()``). All images are stored in the ``images`` attribute,
        and can be queried with the ``image()`` method.
        
        
        Get a text (or HTML) extract:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> ella = wptools.page('Ella Fitzgerald').get_query()
            en.wikipedia.org (query) Ella_Fitzgerald
        
            >>> print ella.extext
            **Ella Jane Fitzgerald** (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an
            American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song,
            Queen of Jazz and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone,
            impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like"
            improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
            ...
        
            >>> print ella.extract

            ...
        
        
        Get an Infobox_ as a python object:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> fela = wptools.page('Fela Kuti').get_parse()
            en.wikipedia.org (parse) Fela_Kuti
        
            >>> fela.infobox['instrument']
            'Saxophone, vocals, keyboards, trumpet, guitar, drums'
        
        **Note**: Getting data from Infoboxen may be unavoidable, but getting
        Wikidata (via ``get_wikidata()``) is preferred. Wikidata is
        structured_ but (sometimes) data poor, while Infoboxen are
        unstructured and (frequently) data rich. Please consider updating_
        Wikidata if the information you want is only available in a MediaWiki
        instance so that others may benefit from open, `linked data`_.

        **Note**: Resolved properties and claims are stored in the ``wikidata``
        attribute. Wikidata claims are processed via ``WPTools._WIKIPROPS``.
        Properties (e.g. P17: country) are stored in ``props`` and those properties
        that have Wikidata entities for values (e.g. Q142 instead of France) are
        stored in ``claims`` and resolved by another Wikidata API call (as
        shown above).
        
        
        Extend Wikidata claims_ to be resolved:
