@GrantWilson There are several good Python tools for structured data. I know at least about Daty, DBpedia, Pywikibot and WikidataIntegrator.

In case you need to extract structured data from Wikipedia, there's a good tool DbPedia used by pro experts. They also suggest examples of using SPARQL libraries on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/627594/is-there-a-wikipedia-api and https://hireessaywriter.org/write-me-an-essay.html case studies on MediaWiki API wrapper.

I get:

==> Starting package()...

error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

/home/achaves/aqueronte/python2-pywikibot-git/python2-pywikibot-git/pkg/python2-pywikibot-git/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:

''

git.wikimedia.org is pretty slow, I recommend you use the Gerrit url directly: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/pywikibot/core.git

Also note that upstream does some very bad-practice things in its directory structure and config process. Filed bugs with them:

Thanks for your work on this, but upstream moved to git a while back. I made a new package based on yours: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-pywikibot-git/

This PKGBUILD borrows heavily from python2-wikipedia-rewrite-svn. I'll be maintaining it at: https://github.com/yardenac/pkgbuilds/tree/master/packages/python2-pywikibot-git

Please note that git.mediawiki.org is flaky and gives http hangups about half the time. Try running makepkg a few times before reporting a bug.
