Summary: yo.wiki incorrectly throws NoPage errors

Initial Comment:
version.py results:
Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r6044, Oct 29 2008, 20:12:04)
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]


Trying read a Yoruba wikipedia article always fails with NoPage error. It appear that yo.wiki is setup with a linefeed in the "History" tab text. The fix is to use a re.DOTALL flag when searching for the history page.


My patch:


def _getEditPage()

...
        # Find out if page actually exists. Only existing pages have a
        # version history tab.
        if self.site().family.RversionTab(self.site().language()):
            # In case a family does not have version history tabs, or in
            # another form
            RversionTab = re.compile(self.site().family.RversionTab(self.site().language()), re.DOTALL)
        else:
            RversionTab = re.compile(r'<li id="ca-history"><a href=".*?title=.*?&amp;action=history".*?>.*?</a></li>', re.DOTALL)
        matchVersionTab = RversionTab.search(text)
        if not matchVersionTab:
            raise NoPage(self.site(), self.aslink(forceInterwiki = True))

...
