DisambiguationError: perhaps a better response?

For example:

    wikipedia.summary('recommendation')

gives the following error and terminates the program:

    290       may_refer_to = [li.a.get_text() for li in filtered_lis if li.a]
    291 
--> 292       raise DisambiguationError(self.title, may_refer_to)
    293 
    294     else:

DisambiguationError: "Recommendation" may refer to: 
norm (philosophy)
Recommender systems
European Union recommendation
W3C recommendation
letter of recommendation

Perhaps a better response, maybe in a JSON format, would help? without termination, and instead ask for further clarification?

yeah well that could be one option. I was thinking:

try:
    page = wikipedia.page("Recommendation")
    print page.summary
except:
    topics = wikipedia.search("Recommendation")
    print "Recommendation may refer to: "
    for i, topic in enumerate(topics):
        print i, topic
    choice = int(raw_input("Enter a choice: "))
    assert choice in xrange(len(topics))
    print wikipedia.summary(topics[choice])

this would help counter the error and give the user a chance to select an input at run-time instead.

Sample output

Recommendation may refer to: 
0 Recommendation
1 Recommender system
2 World Wide Web Consortium
3 Life imprisonment in England and Wales
4 Web standards
5 Recommendation (European Union)
6 List of ITU-T V-Series Recommendations
7 Recommendation letter
8 Driver Steering Recommendation
9 Rec. 709
Enter a choice:

the DisambiguationError object does store a list of the suggested article titles:

try:
  page = wikipedia.page("Recommendation")
except wikipedia.exceptions.DisambiguationError as e:
  print e.options

# [u'norm (philosophy)', u'Recommender systems', u'European Union recommendation', u'W3C recommendation', u'letter of recommendation']
