+Description: extremely low-level Python wrapper to the MediaWiki API
+ SimpleMediawiki is an extremely low-level wrapper to the MediaWiki
+ API. It automatically handles cookies and gzip compression so that
+ you can make basic calls to the API in the easiest way possible. It
+ also provides a few functions to make day-to-day API access easier.
+ .
+ To use this module, instantiate a MediaWiki object, passing it the
+ URL of api.php for the wiki you want to work with. Calls go through
+ MediaWiki.call(). A generic login wrapper as well as functions to
+ determine limits and get a list of namespaces are provided for your
+ convenience.
