Patch notes/Script

This is a Python script to generate the Patch notes page. Copy the code in the box below into a text file named wikiPatchNotes.py (or whatever you want) inside the Wildermyth directory. Then run it by calling python wikiPatchNotes.py from the command line. It will create a text file named wikiPatchNotes.txt with the appropriate wiki-formatted content.
