I plan on making a geography-learning Anki [1] deck, and Wikipedia has the information that I need in nicely formatted tables on the side of each country's page. Has someone already invented a wheel to parse and store that data (scrape)? It is probably not difficult to code, and within the Wikipedia license, but if that wheel has already been invented then I don't want to redo it. I tried googling for a Wikipedia-specific solution but found none, is there a general purpose solution that I could use?
Note that I am a regular Wikipedia contributor and plan on staying within the realm of Wikipedia's rules. [1] http://ichi2.net/anki/ -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
