    wik Random Article Feature

    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.

    Replace setup.py with flit-flavored pyproject.toml

    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.

    Fetch is a very common unix tool

    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 random Wikipedia article feature

    adding random Wikipedia article feature

    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.

    wik is *not* a "command based wiki"

    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.

    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.

    Feature Request: Work with offline ZIM files/kiwix

    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?
