Generating from Wikipedia

ahi · 08-10-2009, 11:44 AM

Are there any good tools or programming (python or PHP) libraries for working with (the) Wikipedia (database) in a reasonably high level way, for the purposes of extracting articles?

The sort of thing I'd want is to be able to grab the full HTML and (full resolution) associated images of an article with a single command or command line call. Get a list of linked article keywords in a similarly straightforward way.

Ideally it ought to be possible to program a sort of limited but "intelligent" spidering of articles.

Thanks for any tips in advance.
