Any interest in including a random wikipedia article feature in wik? I have a basic version of this working but can clean it up and make a PR if you're interested.

The name field in the project section should be a PyPI-ready name, and I don't know what is best (fetch being occupied already), but I set it to yash-fetch.

The fetch command has been a fundamental part of the FreeBSD operating system and other OSs for decades. By naming your project fetch, you risk causing lots of confusion. Perhaps wikifetch or something would be a better choice? I love the idea and want to have a command line wikipedia tool!

Adding getRand() to info.py. Also updated wik.py with CLI option -x since Wikipedia has alt+shift+x random article shortcut. I didn't update README since I wasn't sure if you wanted to use a different CLI option instead of -x.

The README opens with:

wik is command based wiki.

A wiki is a website where anyone can edit the pages. Wikipedia is one such website. MediaWiki is software for hosting it. Github provides a simple wiki for every project you host (this project even has one: https://github.com/yashsinghcodes/wik/wiki).

wik is (as far as I can see) a tool to view Wikipedia pages from your terminal. The README should say this.

Either detect language when full url is passed to -S (br.wikipedia.org) or add a language option which changes the language in the hard coded url here: https://github.com/yashsinghcodes/wik/blob/main/wik/info.py#L42

Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 12, in <module> exec(open("fetch/__version__.py").read()) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'fetch/__version__.py'

I had to create fetch/__version__.py and put my current python version in it. For example

__version__ = "3.8.10"

This info should be added to the README.

It's not possible to pipe output of fetch to a file or a pager

fetch -i mallard | less -R

In fetch/info.py I changed

width,height = os.get_terminal_size()

to

try:
    width,height = os.get_terminal_size()
except OSError:
    width = 120
    height = 80

to get it to work

Hi there and thanks for using pyup.io!

Since you are using a non-default config I've created one for you.

There are a lot of things you can configure on top of that, so make sure to check out the docs to see what I can do for you.

The bot created this issue to inform you that pyup.io has been set up on this repo. Once you have closed it, the bot will open pull requests for updates as soon as they are available.

It would be really nice to be able to use wik in conjunction with local offline wikipedia dumps. I'm not a programmer but I'm a big command line enthusiast and I tried modifying the wiki URL in info.py to the local one I'm running. It will display an article when giving the exact name but doesn't return any results when searching. I'm clearly out of my element here :) but it doesn't appear to be too far away from being able to do it. Thoughts?
