Wrong Output

[MS-Jahan]

I tried this:

import wikipedia
print(wikipedia.search("Ubuntu"))

It gave me this:

/home/sjs/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wikipedia/wikipedia.py:389: GuessedAtParserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("html5lib"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

The code that caused this warning is on line 389 of the file /home/sjs/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wikipedia/wikipedia.py. To get rid of this warning, pass the additional argument 'features="html5lib"' to the BeautifulSoup constructor.

  lis = BeautifulSoup(html).find_all('li')

wikipedia.exceptions.DisambiguationError: "bantu" may refer to:

Bantu knots

Bantu (band)

I installed this package from pip: pip install wikipedia Python Version: 3.9.1

What's wrong?

I've uninstalled wikipedia from pip and cloned this repo. The output is different this time but still getting errors.

Same bro :(

I've started using pymediawiki. Try this out.

Also, "goat" returns results for boat and "sheep" returns results about "ship" xD

See #279

TL;DR: add auto_suggest=False to search and summary and page calls (maybe others too).
