[Pywikipedia-l] New install, still broken - help please!
by Chris Watkins 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

I have started from scratch, made a new install in a different directory, and some errors have disappeared, but I still get errors when the bot tries to put the changes. I can't successfully make any changes at all. At first I thought it was the change I made to the family file (appended email below), but it's persisting without that change, on the new installation, so I I suspect that's a coincidence. So, the errors I'm getting are of this form: A) When I try to run redirect.py $ python redirect.py double -always Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process. Retrieving special page... There's a long wait and then: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp WARNING: Could not open ' http://www.appropedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=block…'. Maybe the server or your connection is down. Retrying in 1 minutes... maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp WARNING: Could not open ' http://www.appropedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=block…'. Maybe the server or your connection is down. Retrying in 2 minutes... maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp WARNING: Could not open ' http://www.appropedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=block…'. Maybe the server or your connection is down. Retrying in 4 minutes... B) When I run replace.py, everything goes fine during the yes (regardless of where I use -xml: or -file:) so it's clearly able to access the server. But when it tries to put the pages, I get the same error: Waiting for 2 pages to be put. Estimated time remaining: 0:00:20 maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp WARNING: Could not open ' http://www.appropedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=block…'. Maybe the server or your connection is down. Retrying in 1 minutes... etc I have no idea what to try next. In case it's relevant, I'm using Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring, with Python version 2.5.2-2.1mdv2008.1 Many thanks, Chris On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 12:00 PM, Chris Watkins <chriswaterguy(a)appropedia.org> wrote: > After I changed the family file as suggested, it broke badly.

[Pywikipedia-l] page generator for all pages in all namespaces
by Tom Hogarty 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Hello, I am interested in iterating over all pages in all namespaces. The reason is to capitalize all page titles so I can successfully change $wgCapitalLinks from false to true. Currently my wiki has many pages with lower-case first letter and changing $wgCapitalLinks to true makes those inaccessible. It appears that the AllPagesGenerator works on only one namespace at a time. The SearchPageGenerator allows multiple namespaces, but it requires a query to return a limited result set. My only idea so far is to manually determine the list of namespaces and iterate over each one with AllPagesGenerator to check every page. Any help is much appreciated.

[Pywikipedia-l] KeyboardInterrupt loses all changes
by Chris Watkins 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

When using replace.py without the -always parameter, I've found a serious problem: If I accidentally interrupt the operation,* I get a message like the following, "Waiting for xx pages to be put. Estimated time remaining: xxxxx" - however, it fails to make the changes, even when I leave it a long time. If I've made a lot of changes, this is a very big problem. The full output is shown below. *I wanted to copy a page name to edit manually, and reflexively used ctrl+C to copy, but of course this is a KeyboardInterrupt. It's very ingrained habit, and realistically I'm likely to make the same mistake in future. -- Do you want to accept these changes?
