I am trying to make an application that would query Wikipedia, but when I try to use the URL Fetch service I run into an exception. The same code works for fetching both Google and Facebook. I am very inexperienced with Python web development and App Engine. Does anyone else run into the same problem with Wikipedia or can anyone confirm this?
