samebirthday

A Python 3.6+ script that, handed your birthday (or any date, whatever) in YYYY-MM-DD format, grabs the "#Birth" list from the Wikipedia page for that specific day (like this one) and prints out all of the Wikipedia-famous people who share your birthday.

I'm using pipenv to manage the two dependencies (requests and bs4), but use whatever makes you happiest.

Sample usage, assuming you're in your virtual environment: python samebday.py "1945-07-12".
