Hi I am trying to grab a page with the following code

site = wiki.Wiki("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php") page = page.Page(site, name, followRedir=True) page.setSection(section=None, number=0)

My goal is to get a simple first sentence of the text returned. I was wondering if its possible to retrieve the page as a printable version so it will be slightly easier to pass. Ie passing &printable=yes on the url.

Thanks
