Yes, no more chcp crap! Update to r10043 to feel the magic! (I have tested windows XP using python 2.5.4 and 2.7.2 and linux using python 2.7.1. Unicode command-line arguments are not supported (yet), as this requires reworking all sys.argv to pywikipedia-managed code. If stuff breaks, go back to r10042 and send an e-mail). Best, Merlijn

Maybe you bot has the right page but read permission is needed for login api call which makes no sense. Is there any white list to enable the login api call? Try to login with use_api_login = False in your user_config but I am not sure whether this still works with mw >= 1.18 Regards xqt ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Thehelpfulone <thehelpfulonewiki(a)gmail.com> An: pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Datum: 12.04.2012 21:49 Betreff: [Pywikipedia-l] Using pywikipedia on a https:// site > Hi all, > > I'm trying to use pywikipedia on a private wmf wiki, it can only be > accessed by viewing it in https://.

[Pywikipedia-l] Recent changes, permission denied need patrol right
by Morten Wang 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Hi, To keep part of SuggestBot's data updated I have a script that polls regularly (once an hour) and uses the site.recentchanges() method to get a time-limited list of the recent changes. Lately I have noticed that this script throws an error: raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"]) pywikibot.data.api.APIError: rcpermissiondenied: You need the patrol right to request the patrolled flag >From what I can tell by sending manual requests to en-WP's API, I don't get this error message if I'm logged in (as a regular user), but it pops up if I'm not logged in. SuggestBot should be logged in, as I make calls to pywikibot.getSite() and site.has_right() before I call site.recentchanges(). So it could seem like the problem is related to not being logged in. I'm not sure where to start debugging this, maybe it's not a pywikibot problem? Maybe it's only something I'm seeing? I'm running the latest revision of the rewrite branch, btw. Any input on where to start looking for clues would be great, thanks! Cheers, Morten

Sorry, didn't notice the reply just went to xqt, here's a forward to the list. Cheers, Morten ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Morten Wang <nettrom(a)gmail.com> Date: 13 April 2012 14:15 Subject: Re: Re: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Recent changes, permission denied need patrol right To: info(a)gno.de I grabbed the latest trunk from SVN and wrote a variant of the test script I linked to earlier, and then it works just fine. What's the take on trunk vs 2.0? When I started using PWB a couple of years ago (or thereabouts), 2.0 was the preferred version. Should I consider switching back?

Oh I see, its pwb 2.0. Have you ever tried to run your script with the trunk release?

[Pywikipedia-l] Using pywikipedia on a https:// site
by Thehelpfulone 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi all, I'm trying to use pywikipedia on a private wmf wiki, it can only be accessed by viewing it in https://. When I run login.py -all, I get Traceback (most recent call last): File "login.py", line 436, in <module> main() File "login.py", line 414, in main if not forceLogin and site.loggedInAs(sysop = sysop): File "/home/thehelpfulone/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 5102, in loggedInAs self._load(sysop = sysop) File "/home/thehelpfulone/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 6053, in _load raise RuntimeError('%s' % data['error']) RuntimeError: {u'info': u'You need read permission to use this module', u'code': u'readapidenied'} How can I fix the bot to allow it to log in (and thus run scripts?). By private wiki, I mean a wiki that you have to login to if you want to read anything other than the Main Page. Thanks for your help! -- Thehelpfulone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Thehelpfulone English Wikipedia Administrator

06 Apr '12

Hi I have found that when we upload the invalid license images throgh Flickrripper, currently the tool does not allow copyrighted images (great), but it does not show any message to the user like (invalid license). I have tweaked this adding the message, so that user can aware of why the image did not get upload. Please suggest and let me know whether I can update to SVN Regards, Jenith

[Pywikipedia-l] Hidden categories
by Bináris 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi, catlib.py tries to say if a category is hidden like this: hidden = re.search('__HIDDENCAT__', text) But many wikis have already templates for that. See the interwikis at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Hidden_category for Wikipedias. Shall we list these templates within catlib.py, or what is the process? Is that a similar task than handling disambig templates in solve_disambiguation.py? -- Bináris
