Not a problem. 

See stat1.wmf:/home/halfak/Sandbox/cluebot-down/sessions.py

There's a util.py in that dir that I import.  Otherwise, all of the code is contained in the one file.  I'll be wrapping a library into wikimedia-utilities eventually, but checking out these files should give you a sneak peek.

Bump.

I was just reading this and wondering if I might take a look at sessions.py.  It sounds like something that would be useful to port to the user metrics code base and considering exposing via the API.  I couldn't find the module in your home folder on stat1, would it be cool for me to have a look at the code? 

Apologies if I'm rehashing something that's already been discussed.

The reverts table is useful for looking at global reverting patterns over time.  Right now, I'm trying to answer questions about the robustness of Wikipedia's vandal fighting system by looking at who picked up the slack when ClueBot went down for a month and what effect this had on the presence of vandalism in the Wiki.  I'd also like to review reverts and retention of new users since the E3 & Teahouse work once I get back into WMF gear.

I'd be happy to add this to a shared repo.  I'm planning to push them to https://bitbucket.org/halfak/wikimedia-utilities when I'm done with them.  I haven't used the git system you guys are working with yet, so I might need some setup if you want me to move it there.   In the meantime, I'm just trying to get things done with the few hours I have to devote to this work.

Hey Aaron,

(removing E3 and adding wmfresearch)

can you recap the main use case for the revert tables generated by reverts.py? We've been thinking of moving them to the prod DB but now that we have SHA1 population completed in enwiki AND revert rates implemented in the metrics API I am curious about what you use this for. If we were to make this a permanent table in prod we should definitely have the script in a public repo as a starter.

As soon as I saw the load come up, I killed the script. For any difficulty that occurred in the meantime, I'm very sorry. I've since re-written things to behave much better.
