The library is higher level and easier to use than the API, though for limited functionality of the API. It can be used to easily do basic access of Wikipedia pages, which could be useful for many educational, reference and other purposes. This recipe shows the basic use of the wikipedia library, by using it to search for information about oranges.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>Provides a data structure for a queue of integers whose get() method returns the median element. The interface is similar to the standard Queue module, with an added method top() to retrieve the median without removing it.</p>
