#Scrapes Python's URL, version number and logo from its Wikipedia page:
# $ pip3 install requests beautifulsoup4
import requests, bs4, os, sys
WIKI_URL = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)'
try:
html = requests.get(WIKI_URL).text

version = table.find('th', text='Stable release').next_sibling.strings.__next__()
logo_url = table.find('img')['src']
logo = requests.get(f'https:{logo_url}').content
filename = os.path.basename(logo_url)
with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
file.write(logo)
print(f'{python_url}, {version}, file://{os.path.abspath(filename)}')
