TASK DESCRIPTION
The line
https://github.com/mineo/mb2wikidatabot/blob/master/bot/const.py#L36 sometimes
causes the whole python interpreter to block, so it doesn't even exit on ^C anymore.
Since this might be a very specific problem related to the order things are imported in
etc., here's a rough overview of how that line is reached.
https://github.com/mineo/mb2wikidatabot/blob/master/run.py is the main entry point of
the bot, which imports
https://github.com/mineo/mb2wikidatabot/blob/master/bot/common.py, which (in line 8)
imports the `const.py` file.
I've added print statements around every statement in `const.py` and the one before
the creation of the ItemPage is the last one that gets executed.
I have now found a reliable way to fix this and that is the execution of a file that
contains only the following code (yes, this is basically a variation of the `const.py`
file):
```
import pywikibot as wp
WIKIDATA = wp.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata')
WIKIDATA_DATASITE = WIKIDATA.data_repository()
MUSICBRAINZ_WIKIDATAPAGE = wp.ItemPage(WIKIDATA_DATASITE, "Q14005")
MUSICBRAINZ_CLAIM = wp.Claim(WIKIDATA_DATASITE, "P248")
```
Other ways to fix it include deletions of most files in the pywikibot user directory
and/or random invokations of pywikibots `scripts/login.py` script.
This happens on Python 2.6.5 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 in a virtual environment. This has
happened over the last few year every once in a while with different revisions of
pywikibot, but I feel like it's now happening way more often. The currently used
pywikibot version is 6b2e416b1bd67d16cf70f3c02420bd9124217a13.
