newbie in Python here
when I run this simple code (to load Harry Potter page and simply print it)
it returns me Error with the wrong name I wanted to search (harry plotter)
can anyone tell me how to fix? thank you!
import wikipedia
page = wikipedia.page("Harry Potter")
print(page.summary)
Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Lidor\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\search_engine.py", line 7, in <module>
page = wikipedia.page(search[0])

raise PageError(self.title)
wikipedia.exceptions.PageError: Page id "harry plotter" does not match any pages. Try
another id!
>Solution :
This appears to be a strange result of auto_suggest being set by default. If you do
wikipedia.page("Harry Potter", auto_suggest=False)
It works fine. Otherwise it autocompletes potter to plotter, hence the error.
