: This module helps us to get data from wikipedia using python.
Installation
pip install wikipedia
Let's Code
First we will import the required module, so lets do it quickly
# importing the module
import wikipedia
Now we will ask the user to enter the subject he wants to search
search = input("What do you want to search ? \n")
Now we will use the input to search data from wikipedia
# finding result for the search
''' sentences = 2 refers to numbers of line the number may vary it is according to you '''
result = wikipedia.summary(search, sentences = 2)
Now we will finally print the result
# printing the result
print(result)
And with that done we have successfully completed another project. That's it for today stay safe and do take very good care of yourselves.
