A simple, purely python, WikiText parsing tool.
Project description
A simple, purely python, WikiText parsing tool.
The project is still in early development stages and I’m not sure if it will ever succeed. It sure can’t parse a page the same way the MediaWiki does (for example because it’s completely offline and can’t expand templates and also has not implemented many details of MediaWiki parser), but my guess is that for most usual uses it will be enough.
Installation
Use pip install wikitextparser
Usage
Here is a short demo of some of the functionalities:
>>> import wikitextparser as wtp
>>>
>>> wt = wtp.WikiText("""
== h2 ==
t2
=== h3 ===
t3
== h22 ==
t22
{{text|value1{{text|value2}}}}
[[A|B]]""")
>>>
>>> wt.templates
[Template("{{text|value2}}"), Template("{{text|value1{{text|value2}}}}")]
>>> _[1].arguments
[Argument("|value1{{text|value2}}")]
>>> _[0].value = 'value3'
>>> wt
WikiText("
== h2 ==
t2
=== h3 ===
t3
== h22 ==
t22
{{text|value3}}
[[A|B]]")
>>>
>>>
>>> wt.wikilinks
[WikiLink("[[A|B]]")]
>>> wt.wikilinks[0].target = 'Z'
>>> wt.wikilinks[0].text = 'X'
>>> wt
WikiText("
== h2 ==
t2
=== h3 ===
t3
== h22 ==
t22
{{text|value3}}
[[Z|X]]")
>>>
>>>
>>> wt.sections
[Argument(""), Argument("== h2 ==
t2
=== h3 ===
t3
"), Argument("=== h3 ===
t3
"), Argument("== h22 ==
t22
{{text|value3}}
[[Z|X]]")]
>>> wt.sections[1].title = 'newtitle'
>>> print(wt)
==newtitle==
t2
=== h3 ===
t3
== h22 ==
t22
{{text|value3}}
[[Z|X]]
