Description:
 After reading on some blog from planetkde about
an offline wikipedia reader, i decided to make
available some python-Qt program i wrote some
months ago as i realised it might be useful for
more people than myself ;)

This simple programs display the text-only
wikipedia compressed dumps, currently available at
http://download.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html,
generally named something like
pages-articles.xml.bz2.

It's fairly useable now for basic wikipedia
reading, altough lots of feature might still not
work, since i originally intended this reader for
my own usage only.

Features includes a Qt viewer with basic text
markup, following links, ability to read directly
on the .bz2 compressed file (altough some index
creations step is needed on first run), tab-like
list of articles with load-in-the-background by
default, very light source-code.

The current code required PyQt4, altough some old
unmaintened PyQt 3 code is included.

Tested on Fedora Core 4 and Kubuntu with PyQt4.1
(Python 2.4, Qt 4.2)

See included README
