        **MediaWikiAPI** is a Python library that makes it easy to access and parse
        data from Wikipedia.
        
        Search Wikipedia, get article summaries, get data like links and images
        from a page, and more. Wikipedia wraps the [MediaWiki API](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API) so you can focus on using
        Wikipedia data, not getting it.
        
        ``` python
        >>> from mediawikiapi import MediaWikiAPI
        >>> mediawikiapi = MediaWikiAPI()
        >>> print(mediawikiapi.summary("Wikipedia"))
        # Wikipedia (/ˌwɪkɨˈpiːdiə/ or /ˌwɪkiˈpiːdiə/ WIK-i-PEE-dee-ə) is a collaboratively edited, multilingual, free Internet encyclopedia supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation...
        
        >>> mediawikiapi.search("Barack")
        # [u'Barak (given name)', u'Barack Obama', u'Barack (brandy)', u'Presidency of Barack Obama', u'Family of Barack Obama', u'First inauguration of Barack Obama', u'Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008', u'Barack Obama, Sr.', u'Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories', u'Presidential transition of Barack Obama']
        
        >>> ny = mediawikiapi.page("New York (state)")
        >>> ny.title
        # u'New York (state)'
        >>> ny.url
        # u'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_(state)'
        >>> ny.content
        # u'New York is a state in the northeastern United States. New York was one of the original thir'...
        >>> ny.links[0]
        # u'1790 United States Census'
        
        >>> mediawikiapi.config.language = "fr"
        >>> mediawikiapi.summary("Facebook", sentences=1)
        # Facebook est un service de réseautage social en ligne sur Internet permettant d'y publier des informations (photographies, liens, textes, etc.) en contrôlant leur visibilité par différentes catégories de personnes.
        ```
