converting Word to MediaWiki

C

ChiTownBob

I'm trying to convert our documentation over to the Wikipedia format
(MediaWiki), and about ready to give up on the Perl-based method I found
(because Perl just sucks, as all good Python hackers know!). Perl
really IS a write-only language.

rather than mess with Word formats directly, I had converted the Word
files to HTML first, then ran HTML::WikiConverter.

SO: is there anything out there in Python that can translate HTML to
popular Wiki formats?

Thanks

Bob

I disagree. Perl has saved my butt more times than I care to count.
Python certainly has its advantages, but I won't be giving up Perl any
time soon.

Are the two necessarily in conflict? Perl can save your butt and
_still_ suck!

Hear, hear!

Although I think it's the vi user in me that makes me like Perl...

it's nice that everyone wants to argue about Perl, but what about the
original question: does anyone know of a Python HTML - Wiki conversion
program?
