WikipediaQL: querying structured data from Wikipedia

WikipediaQL is an experimental query language and Python library for querying structured data from Wikipedia. It looks like this:

from wikipedia_ql import media_wiki

wikipedia = media_wiki.Wikipedia()

print(wikipedia.query(r'''
    from "Guardians of the Galaxy (film)" {
        page@title as "title";
        section[heading="Cast"] as "cast" {
            li >> text["^(.+?) as (.+?):"] {
                text-group[1] as "actor";
                text-group[2] as "character"
            }
        };
        section[heading="Critical response"] {
            sentence["Rotten Tomatoes"] as "RT ratings" {
                text["\d+%"] as "percent";
                text["(\d+) (critic|review)"] >> text-group[1] as "reviews";
                text["[\d.]+/10"] as "overall"
            }
        }
    }
'''))
