[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] Noisy interwiki.py
by Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W. 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Running interwiki.py in the background produces infrequent but steady stream of beeps, which I can't figure out how to turn off. It seems like occasionally when program tries to display am non English character it beeps. The beep does not respond to computer's volume or mute control. I was looking for an option for less verbose output, but could not find one. Is there any other way to control it other than disabling motherboard speaker? I run interwiki.py from DOS command line in Windows XP. Jarosław Tuszyński, PhD. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) 703-516-7406 (Office) 571-245-5824 (BlackBerry)

[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] Making pagenerators shut up
by Bináris 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, I run an own script on a remote Linux toolserver in the background. I suppressed my own screen outputs for that purpose. However, the program uses pagenerators.py, and my screen is infinitely full of lines lik these: Getting 60 pages from wikipedia:hu... Sleeping for 4.5 seconds, 2011-12-22 14:19:06 Getting 60 pages from wikipedia:hu... Sleeping for 4.6 seconds, 2011-12-22 14:19:12 Getting 60 pages from wikipedia:hu... Sleeping for 4.2 seconds, 2011-12-22 14:19:19 Getting 60 pages from wikipedia:hu... Sleeping for 4.1 seconds, 2011-12-22 14:19:25 Getting 60 pages from wikipedia:hu...

This is not only ugly but prevents me of using the console. Is there any way to suppress these messages and run pagegenerators in silent mode? -- 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

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.
