[Pywikipedia-l] Urlencoded section titles
by Bináris 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Happy Monday, There are strange people who make such links (kindof urlencoded?): [[Második világháború#Partrasz.C3.A1ll.C3.A1s Szic.C3.ADli.C3.A1ban .28Huskey hadm.C5.B1velet.29|Huskey hadműveletben]] So the section title must have been copied from the URL. Do we have a ready tool to fix these? -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Replace.py should save -- please comment
by Bináris 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi! My old problem is that repalce.py can't write the pages to work on into a file on my disk. I have used a modificated version for years that does no changes but writes the title of the involved pages to a subpage on Wikipedia in automated mode, and then I can make the replacements from that page much more quickly than directly from dump or living Wikipedia. This is slow and generates a plenty of dummy edits. In other words, replace.py has a tool to get the titles from a file (-file) or from a wikipage (-links), but has no tool to generate this file. Now I am ready to rewrite it. This way we can start it and the bot will find all the possible articles to work on and save the titles without editing Wikipedia (and without artificial delay), meanwhile we can have the lunch or run a marathon or sleep. Then we make the replacements from this with -file. My idea is that replace.py should have two new parameters: -save writes the results into a new file instead of editing articles. It overwrites existing file without notice. -saveappend writes into a file or appends to the existing one. OR: -save writes and appends (primary mode) -savenew writes and overwrites The help is here: http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html#reading-and-writing-unicode-data So we have to import codecs. My script is: articles=codecs.open('cikkek.txt','a',encoding='utf-8') ... tutuzuzu=u'# %s\n' %page.aslink() <-- needs rewrite to the new syntax articles.write(unicode(tutuzuzu)) <-- needs further testing, if nicode() is really needed articles.flush() It works fine except '\n' is a unix-styled newline that has to be converted by lfcr.py in order to make it readable with notepad.exe. This is with constant filename, that should be developed to get from command line. Your opinions before I begin? -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] SVN access request
by Bináris 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Hi, I would like to get an SVN access and some help to start. I need it mainly for inserting and maintaining TOCbot that is under preparation (it has worked in huwiki for several months and is now being internationalized). Information about TOCbot: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:Bin%C3%A1ris/TOCbot Description, user guide and bot owners' guide and a collection of examples is ready as well as an auxilary script, while the main script is not yet public. It will soon be published for test and may need much care in the first time. I would also like to take part in maintenance of replace.py for what I worked a lot already. At the moment I am interested only in trunk version. My SF page: http://sourceforge.net/users/binbot/ -- I don't know how to list all my contributions, here appears a part of them since May 22, but there are much more. I have also been active on mailing list in the past years. Please support and give me technical help to use the system. -- Bináris

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] [Pywikipedia-svn] SVN: [9196] trunk/pywikipedia
by Merlijn van Deen 19 Jan '12

Whoo! Great work :-) Tests always are good contributions :-) On a sidenote - is there a reason you're implementing these in 'trunk' and not in 'rewrite'? Of course, these contributions are very welcome in the trunk, but I still think it would be good to push the rewrite branch.

I'd assumed that the rewrite branch was a single-purpose branch to rewrite something, and that it would be merged back when it is stable. Is it stable? Is there any documentation on what the plans are for the rewrite branch? Is there a roadmap to finish it? Is see now that the rewrite branch has more unit tests, but more are needed. Is there a need to create a backwards compatibility layer? Or, is everyone except me using the rewrite branch? ;-) -- John Vandenberg

[Pywikipedia-l] Instantiating pages with ":" in title
by Morten Wang 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hi, I'm running into a problem with article titles that include ":", e.g. "Nomad: From Islam to America" (which exists on English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomad:_From_Islam_to_America ). I haven't been able to figure out if there's a way to instantiate pages like this one, neither through Google nor reading source code and trial & error. All I end up with is slamming into an exception because there's no "Nomad" family. Is there a simple and straightforward way to do this? Regards, Morten

[Pywikipedia-l] Script for mass copy

I work on a script that will mass copy pages from one wiki to another. The main purpose is to fetch my favourite templates from huwiki to my own local wiki. I have found nothing like that in the framework, is it new or I just have not noticed it? In the first case I will publish it. -- Bináris
