Description

Add a page that provides an overview of the book and the author. This could include:

History

#1 Updated by Luke Murphey over 11 years ago

#2 Updated by Luke Murphey over 10 years ago

  • Target version deleted (1.0)

This can be easily done with the following:
  1. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wikipedia/
  2. Requests
  3. bs4

Here is an example:

import wikipedia
print wikipedia.summary("Antiquitates Judaicae")

#4 Updated by Luke Murphey about 8 years ago

Should consider having a hard-coded link to the page in Wikipedia. For example, the page for "Apophthegmata Laconica" is actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moralia

#5 Updated by Luke Murphey about 8 years ago

The Wikipedia lookup can be done on much more than just the works. However, I need to link up the terms with specific wikipedia articles in some cases. Here are some solutions:

  • Have a table with a type (work, author, editor) and an associated wiki
  • Have a table that takes a search term and provides a wiki article (perhaps in a search index)
  • Update the works table with an assocaited wiki article
