PyWiki

The idea of PyWiki is to be a simple project, capable of searching for information in Wikipedia and returning it's results on the screen.

About

PyWiki is made using Python. Pygame is used to handle the display and wikipedia is used to get the search results.

Running

You can run PyWiki with python3. I recommend using a virtual environment with:

Clone the repo using git clone https://github.com/R34prZ/PyWiki.
python3 -m venv env in the repo root.

You should see the following file structure:
PyWiki
-- env
-- src
------ ...
------ main.py
-- .gitignore
-- README.md
-- requirements.txt

Activate the virtual environment with source env/bin/activate.
Download the requirements with pip (see the Requirements section).
Then run python3 ./src/main.py.
Once done, you can leave the virtual environment with deactivate.

Requirements

The requirements can be found in here. You can download them with pip using python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
I recommend using at least python 3.10, as match case is needed (otherwise you will need to change all the match structures to traditional if statements).

TODO

---

• Text input for search
• Link the wikipedia search function to the search button
• Get the wikipedia search result and display it
• Better process search
• Option to favorite results
• Clickable bookmarks that act as a link to search
• Option to save results locally
• Language selection

OBS: The command instructions above work on linux and are not tested on Windows, though it should work, i'm not sure.
