Wikicrawl

This application plays the road to philosophy game on wikipedia. An interface is given where the user can launch a browser and have it repeatedly click the first link on wikipedia articles until it reaches the article on philosophy. Apparently this works for ~97% of pages. (UPDATE) I have heard this has CHANGED, with the structure of wikipedia pages. I'm curious what happens now.

settings.py: Contains runtime parameters. There are a few things that need configured correctly for this to run.

launcher.py: Run to start the program. "python ./launcher.py" is the command you need.

setup.py: Installation configuration for third-party dependencies.

To install, run these commands in this directory:

(old instructions, i recommend pyenv on Linux)

virtualenv pythonenv
python setup.py install
python ./launcher.py
