	`1`	`+# Wikipedia bot in Python #`
	`2`	`+`
	`3`	`+👋 Hi there!`
	`4`	`+`
	`5`	`+## About the project ##`
	`6`	`+`
	`7`	`+This is a simple Wikipedia surfing bot in Python made with the wikipedia library. It allows the user to search for a topic and choose between the articles related to it. Once the user has chosen the article, it provides the link to the article and summarizes it in a line.`
	`8`	`+`
	`9`	`+## Installation and use ##`
	`10`	`+`
	`11`	`+1) Install the dependency`
	`12`	`+`
	`13`	+```pip3 install wikipedia```
	`14`	`+`
	`15`	`+2) Run the application`
	`16`	`+`
	`17`	+```python3 Wikipedia_bot.py```
	`18`	`+`
	`19`	`+3) Happy learning!`
	`20`	`+`
	`21`	`+## Bugs and improvements ###`
	`22`	`+`
	`23`	`+1) When trying to load the page of some articles, the program encounters a disambiguation error that suggests some other(totally unrelated) articles. I can't seem to fix it(found a workaround tho). Any help is appreciated!`
	`24`	`+`
	`25`	`+2) This app could definitely use a GUI`
