"""
This script retrieves labels from Wikidata using SPARQL query and presents them in a tabular format.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x
- requests library (install via `pip install requests`)
- tabulate library (install via `pip install tabulate`)

Functions:
- None

Usage:
1. Run the script using Python 3.x interpreter.
2. The script will retrieve labels for the item Q100924304 from Wikidata.
3. It will print the labels in a tabular format.

Additional Notes:
- The script uses SPARQL query to retrieve data from Wikidata, so an internet connection is required.
- It relies on the requests library to make HTTP requests to the Wikidata Query Service endpoint.
- The tabulate library is used to format the output in a tabular form for better readability.
- It's recommended to run the script in an environment with Python 3.x installed along with the required dependencies.
