# wikiquote2fortune

## What?

This little Python script can create a fortune(6) file with quotes from a

[Wikiquote](https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Main_Page) page; I've only

tested it on a few TV Show pages and the parser is not very robust.

## How?

You can install it from source like every other Python package, running a command like:

```

$ python3 -m venv ./venv

$ . ./venv/bin/activate

$ python3 setup.py install

```

## Example

To fetch and create a fortune file for Star Trek TNG:

```

$ wikiquote2fortune -o star_trek_TNG Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation

$ strfile star_trek_TNG

```

NOTE: the command `strfile` is part of the fortune package.
