The following code always hangs.

from mediawikiapi import MediaWikiAPI
mw = MediaWikiAPI()
mw.page('Bill Foster (politician)', preload=True)

Now idea what makes Bill so special :).

Hi Daniel,

Thanks a lot for creating an issue.
The investigation showed that the reason of the hanging is the continuing queries functionality always return continue flag and the same image for this page.
Will provide the fix soon.

The same could be reproduced in sandbox
