+[WikiExtractor.py](http://medialab.di.unipi.it/wiki/Wikipedia_Extractor) is a Python script that extracts and cleans text from a [Wikipedia database backup dump](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/), e.g. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2 for English.
 
 The tool is written in Python and requires Python 3 but no additional library.
 **Warning**: problems have been reported on Windows due to poor support for `StringIO` in the Python implementation on Windows.
