Everything works fine, except when I try to import 'big' pages, e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grb2 content= Mediawiki text file to be imported (111579 characters in this case) When I try to write this page (or pages of similar size), I get the following error: page = site.Pages['Grb2'] page.save(content) Traceback: File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwclient/page.py", line 142, in save result = do_edit() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwclient/page.py", line 137, in do_edit **data) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwclient/client.py", line 165, in api info = self.raw_api(action, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mwclient/client.py", line 250, in raw_api return json.loads(json_data) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/json/__init__.py", line 307, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 319, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/json/decoder.py", line 338, in raw_decode raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded") ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded I wonder if this error is due to server timeout or exceeding number of characters.. Any suggestions?

You can fix the error message by checking for a response of length zero before you try to JSON-decode it.

I wonder how these large wikitexts could be written on my target Wiki. Is there a way to 'force' the PHP max execution time limit through the API? If not, I guess I will have to contact a sysop..

That would kind of defeat the purpose of the max execution time. AFAIK the page should still have been saved, just not have been parsed completely. You can check this in the history view. You can ask a sysop to raise the max exec time, or to import these large pages using the importTextFile.php maintenance script.

Can I log in a user (bot) from more than one place (IP address) at the same time? I have an impending need to run Interwicket from more than one place, as the primary will be unavailable at times. Is logging in the other system going to log out the first, or some such? any bad effects?

AFAIK the only reliable way to be logged in in two places at once is to log in in one place and transfer the information in the login cookies to the second place. I think you should just try it and see what happens; worst case you can detect you've been logged out and log in again, although that might not be very nice if you run stuff simultaneously from two places, as they'll spend a lot of time competing for logged-in status.

I log in from two places and I get different session identifiers (not surprising), but the *same* token. Apparently the problem is that if one logs out from anywhere, it invalidates everywhere. Not too sure about the exact conditions, because it is rather painful. (;-) But bots don't usually log out, so that isn't an issue, they stay logged in for years. Might be okay.

I am working on this project where any text added by the user in the wiki is processed and transferred to an editor and while i am trying to maintain the alignment, mediawiki tends to add extra spaces and lines. How can I take care of this ? Thanks, Rashi D.
