Subject: urls ending on a ) incorrectly parsed
Assigned to: amird
Original description:
$ python version.pyPywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r11368, 2013/04/13, 08:16:45, ok\)
Python 2.7.3 \(v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr 9 2012, 20:52:43\)
\[GCC 4.2.1 \(Apple Inc. build 5666\) \(dot 3\)\]
config-settings:
use\_api = True
use\_api\_login = True
unicode test: ok

Weblinks with an \) at the end of the url are handled incorrect by weblinkchecker. That means that the \) is stripped from the url. See example:

$ python weblinkchecker.py -lang:nl -page:Gebruiker:Smile4ever/test
