Python wikipedia module issue

Discussed in #21

In your example of "bass", I get an entirely different disambiguation list than what's shown here. It appears to search for "band." Searching for "band" appears to search for "can".

>>> w.page('bass')
C:\Users\payne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\wikipedia\wikipedia.py:389: GuessedAtParserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("html.parser"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

The code that caused this warning is on line 389 of the file C:\Users\payne\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\wikipedia\wikipedia.py. To get rid of this warning, pass the additional argument 'features="html.parser"' to the BeautifulSoup constructor.

  lis = BeautifulSoup(html).find_all('li')

Not yet. I see the project seems to be kind of dead. I was going to just review the open PRs to see if anyone addressed it before I dig in myself. Glad to see someone's interested!
