[Pywikipedia-l] Missing namespaces in Wikisource family?
by Mpaa 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi. I pulled from git the compat version and I got these errors when trying to get pages from en, wikisource. Getting [[Category:Author pages linking to Wikipedia]] list... Getting 125 pages from wikisource:en... WARNING: Missing namespace in family file wikisource: namespace['en'][114] (it is set to 'Translation') WARNING: Missing namespace in family file wikisource: namespace['en'][115] (it is set to 'Translation talk') I guess these namespaces need to be added to wikisource_family.py BTW, I operate MpaaBot on en:WS based on pywikipediabot. I have some python knowledge (but I'm not a professional developer) and would be nice to contribute to this project in my spare time. Any advice on where/how one could help? If I am welcome, you could list areas where you need help, and I could pick what is more suitable for my knowledge level and interest. Bye Mpaa

Could anyone explain this message please. I tried to push some changes on family files to core but it hanged until I aborted the pushing. I did not found these changes on Gerrit. How to proceed in that matter?

[Pywikipedia-l] BeautifulSoup4
by Amir Ladsgroup 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi everybody! I just set this patch: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/83372 It's final resolution of BeautifulSoup problem. Out of some options, I chose maintaining by hand. Why? let's take a look at the options: 1- using BS4 as an external submodule directly from their version control system: unfortunately it's not possible because BS is using Bazaar So we can't make a an exact mirror beside of that the launchpad version is not stable and they have an stable release once a while 2-using BS4 as an external from git clones: the clones in GitHub are totally maintaining by hand and are out of date, (really out of date like updated two years ago) 3-Make people to download and install BS: there is no need to explain why this is not a good option 4-Copying from the stable release and maintaining by hand: We have to update this codes once a while but we are maintaining name of namespaces in Wikipedia projects by hand, so It won't bother me (as a dev) so much and it's more available and more easier for users I talked about this problem with some of BS devs: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/beautifulsoup/AoV_ao9Hrvg Any suggestion, idea, anything! is welcome! Best -- Amir

[Pywikipedia-l] httplib2 in setup.pys install_requires
by Wieland Hoffmann 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi, with the recent switch to HTTPS by default [0] I'm wondering if it still makes sense to keep httplib2 (the upstream version, not the one maintained at [1]) as a dependency in setup.py? According to setuptools' documentation [2] the effect of listing httplib2 (or any other dependency) in install_requires is that When your project is installed, either by using EasyInstall, setup.py install, or setup.py develop, all of the dependencies not already installed will be located (via PyPI), downloaded, built (if necessary), and installed. For PWB this means that installing the project via `setup.py install` in an environment where [1] is not already installed, setuptools will download httplib2 from PyPI. This is not a good idea because all it will do is give people an httplib2 that can't verify Wikimedias certificate. AFAIK the only way to recognize this is during the install step - and let's be honest - nooes reading *all* of the output ;) I did try adding depency links as described by [2]: dependency_links=[ 'git+https://git.wikimedia.org/git/pywikibot/externals/httplib2.git#egg=http…' ], but surprisingly, this only works with pip but not setuptools itself ('git+https' is an unknown url type to setuptools). So it seems to me that specifying httlib2 as a dependency in setup.py does more harm than good and it should be removed - [3] already lists the submodule as a dependency, although it could be made more clear that the git submodule differs from upstream. As I'm not really that familiar with the python packaging ecosystem, I'm not sure if there's a way to make (for example) the dependency links stuff work or if the dependency is worth keeping for some other reason. If there are no objections/other ideas to make this work, I'd submit a patch removing the dependency from setup.py reusing most of this mail as the commit message.

[Pywikipedia-l] Breaking change to ItemPage sources interface
by legoktm 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi all, I have just merged a change[1] into core which introduces a breaking change to reading sources when using an ItemPage. The change now parses multi-claim sources properly (example[2]). If you are simply adding sources, this won't affect anything. If you are reading sources, Claim.sources is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary is a "source", and is organized just like claims are currently stored in an ItemPage. Thank you to FelixReimann for taking the time to quash this bug and for some of the other great work he's been doing!

[Pywikipedia-l] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Wiki DevRoom at FOSDEM?
by Maarten Dammers 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

FYI, maybe something Pywiki developers should go too? -------- Origineel bericht -------- Onderwerp: [Wikitech-l] Fwd: Wiki DevRoom at FOSDEM? Datum: Wed, 04 Sep 2013 15:29:40 -0700 Van: Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> Antwoord-naar: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Organisatie: Wikimedia Foundation Aan: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> I have contacted some wiki projects sending them the email below. If you know good contacts out there please forward this invitation to them. The FOSDEM organizers replied back saying that they preferred a cross-project Wiki devroom. The more and more diverse support we get, the better chances we will have to get the devroom proposal accepted. ... and if you want to help defining the proposal you are of course invited too. I'll start drafting tomorrow. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Wiki DevRoom at FOSDEM? Date: Wed, 04 Sep 2013 15:06:28 -0700 From: Quim Gil <qgil(a)wikimedia.org> Organization: Wikimedia Foundation To: qgil(a)wikimedia.org Dear wikicolleague(s), The Wikimedia/MediaWiki community is planning to propose a DevRoom for FOSDEM (Brussels, February 1-2, 2014). https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-08-06-call-for-participation/ The FOSDEM organizers promote cross-project devrooms and we think it is a good idea as well. There is no lack of wiki projects and wiki topics to present and discuss! I'm coordinating the elaboration of the proposal from the Wikimedia side. Deadline: 15 September. I will start drafting it at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM tomorrow, but first I wanted to contact several projects seeking support and eventually collaboration. What we need: * If you are interested, please give explicit support to this DevRoom on behalf of your project. * If you are quite interested, watch and edit the proposal. * If you are really really interested and you will have the time, step in to co-coordinate the DevRoom. There are no more details so far. Following TheWikiWay ;) I decided to start contacting you before getting too deep into the planning. Let me know if you are interested!

Then I sometimes get that messages. I deleted the clones several times and started a new try over and over again. But I did not found the point. Really I am tired with that stuff. Could we get svn back please. git bash doesn't work with refs/for/master review because it seems to redirect it to refs/refs/for/master. Obmitting refs/ creates a new directory /for/master. I'ts very strange. Ok maybe it's windoof. But it's the only ability for all my other development software. I should ask a wikimedia chapter for some sponsoring. Sorry please, my patience is running out. I should leave that time consuming issue and cook my own soup (would be beautiful ;) Thanks and greetings xqt

[Pywikipedia-l] Switch to HTTPS, implications for Pywikibot?

I noticed this message from a thread on wikitech-l and wikibots-l: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikibots-l/2013-August/000353.html Does this have any particular implications for pywikibot, or is it already using HTTPS? Cheers, Morten
