(Apologies if this has been referred to already on this list. If so, I missed it).
A couple of Weeks ago, Brian Keegan published a very nice blog post [1] on the use of
Python for Wikimedia research. He uses examples from the English Wikipedia but the
techniques he describes are applicable more generally.
It’s fascinating, and shows what a lot can be done with a few lines of code.
