Put output to separate lines of data.txt and run python

with open("data.txt") as f:
    print('{|class="reference-sidebar"')
    sections = {}
    for line in f:
        line = line.strip().strip("'")
        line = line.replace(",wesnoth.audio,wesnoth.achievements,wesnoth.game_events,wesnoth.map,wesnoth.interface,wesnoth.paths,wesnoth.schedule,wesnoth.sides,wesnoth.sync,wesnoth.units","")
        methods, url = line.split(" @ ")
        url = url.removeprefix("https://wiki.wesnoth.org/")
        header = url.removeprefix("LuaAPI/").replace("/",".")

        sections[header] = []
        for method in sorted(methods.split(",")):
            methodWithoutLocation = method.split(".")[-1]
            row = "[[{}#{}|{}]]<br>".format(url, method, method)
            sections[header].append(row)

    for header in sorted(sections, key=lambda x: '_'+x if x.startswith('wesnoth') else x):
        print("|-\n|''{}''".format(header))
        for row in sections[header]:
            print(row)
    print('|}')
