3 years ago try version 0.2.2 which adds two new methods, images and page_data
for your use case
import wikipedia_for_humans
data = wikipedia_for_humans.page_data("quantum mechanics")

'probabilities for how physical systems can behave. It '

'molecules, atoms and sub-atomic particles. Predictions '
'of quantum mechanics have been verified experimentally '
'to an extremely high degree of accuracy. A basic '
'mathematical feature of quantum mechanics is that a '

'summary': 'Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that '
'provides a description of the physical properties of nature at '
'the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. It is the foundation '
'of all quantum physics including quantum chemistry, quantum field '
'theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.\n'
'Classical physics, the description of physics that existed before '
'the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, describes many '
'aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic) scale, while '
'quantum mechanics explains the aspects of nature at small (atomic '
'and subatomic) scales, for which classical mechanics is '
'insufficient. Most theories in classical physics can be derived '
'from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large '
'(macroscopic) scale.Quantum mechanics differs from classical '
'physics in that energy, momentum, angular momentum, and other '
'quantities of a bound system are restricted to discrete values '
'(quantization), objects have characteristics of both particles '
'and waves (wave-particle duality), and there are limits to how '
'accurately the value of a physical quantity can be predicted '
'prior to its measurement, given a complete set of initial '
'conditions (the uncertainty principle).\n'
'Quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain '
'observations which could not be reconciled with classical '
"physics, such as Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body "
'radiation problem, and the correspondence between energy and '
"frequency in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper which explained the "
'photoelectric effect. These early attempts to understand '
'microscopic phenomena, now known as the "old quantum theory", led '
'to the full development of quantum mechanics in the mid-1920s by '
'Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born and '
'others. The modern theory is formulated in various specially '
'developed mathematical formalisms. In one of them, a mathematical '
'entity called the wave function provides information, in the form '
'of probability amplitudes, about what measurements of a '
"particle's energy, momentum, and other physical properties may "
'yield.',

I was wondering whether you can get the link of a Wikipedia article and its name from the article returned from
wikipedia_for_humans.summary(). Is that possible? It would really be quite useful.
