[Pywikipedia-l] i18n configuration
by Merlijn van Deen 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

The following might be a bit unclear, as it's a bit of a brain dump. It's mainly meant as a response to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/137904/2/tests/l10n_tests.py and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/137924/ and as 'food for thought'. Basically, the question is how we can let the i18n not depend on the hardcoded 'scripts.i18n' import - this is problematic for tests, is problematic for pywikibot-installed-as-a-package (because there is no scripts.i18n then) and is problematic for third party authors (because they *have* to use the scripts.i18n folder to store their translations). I have some thoughts on this, and maybe we can make something cool out of it. Essentially, we would want a script to be able to indicate /where/ it's i18n file is located. There's a few ways to do this, but I guess the cleanest option is something like this: - pywikibot.i18n gets an 'I18N' class which contains the current twtranslate functions, - this I18N class takes a parameter: the filename of the i18n translation file (which, at some point, could also be a JSON file) - maybe more filenames, if more translation files need to be loaded? - or maybe a directory that contains translation files? - we add a simple wrapper that would allow the current scripts to do something like import pywikibot.i18n i18n = pywikibot.i18n.forScript(__file__) where 'forScript' does some path parsing to change __file__ (= the filename of the current file) from /path/to/original/file to /path/to/original/i18n/file which is the setup we are currently using. I'm not sure about backwards compatibility, but I guess we could have a pre-prepared pywikibot.i18n.twtranslate doing what it does now, via the I18N class (listing all files, maybe?) Please let me know if this sounds like a good idea to implement. Merlijn

[Pywikipedia-l] Page delete and protect
by John Mark Vandenberg 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

In https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/139792 I noticed that Page.delete() and page.protect() have a lot of user interaction logic which would normally be in a script. e.g. asking a user what actions to take. Also, they set a flag in the site object. i.e. site._noDeletePrompt = True and site._noProtectPrompt = True Is there any reason for it being in Page? -- John Vandenberg

[Pywikipedia-l] drop support for python 2.6
by Ricordisamoa 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Some tests fail only in py2.6: https://travis-ci.org/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/jobs/27558463 (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/139591/ is an attempted fix). But I think we may instead drop support for py2.6 entirely, focusing ourselves on py2.7 ? py3k. * no more need for external dependencies like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/138318 * less work for Travis-CI * new features like dict comprehension, etc.

[Pywikipedia-l] Pywikibot mailing list page redesigned
by Amir Ladsgroup 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hello, As you may now, the pages of pywikibot mailing lists (*Pywikipedia-l* <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l>, *Pywikipedia-bugs* <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-bugs>, *Pywikipedia-announce* <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-announce>, *Pywikibot-commits* <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikibot-commits>) have changed. It's based on one of templates that has been written by Quim Gil with some small changes. What do you think about it? Is any further changes needed? Best -- Amir

[Pywikipedia-l] querying only some properties for WikibasePage
by Ricordisamoa 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

I still can't find a way to query only some item properties (e.g. claims) from the Wikibase API using pywikibot. I've tried all of them: .get('claims') .get(True, 'claims') .get(force=True, 'claims') .get('claims', force=True) .get('claims', True) but without success. Bots often don't need all of the items' data, so such feature should be implemented (or, if present, documented better!) PS: is it worth to implement the 'wbgetclaims' action in our framework?

[Pywikipedia-l] Secret management
by John Mark Vandenberg 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

We have four sets of cleartext passwords (http & proxy & db), and secrets such as various API keys and mw cookies and edit tokens. The passwords are stored in two files in clear text (user-config.py and. passwd). Other secrets are in cached api files, etc. I would like to introduce an optional dependency on a library to manage (some of?) these secrets. The current secret storage would continue to work correctly. The keyring package is the obvious candidate. Any objections or improvements on that? -- John Vandenberg

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] (core) Adding code in scripts/i18n to gerritreview
by info＠gno.de 13 Jun '14

The i18n dict file must be committed first and you have to update submodules before your script works well. For your working copy you may c&p the dict file into the scripts/i18n folder for testing purposes. Greetings xqt ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Travis Briggs Gesendet: 12.06.2014 19:30 An: Pywikibot discussion list Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] (core) Adding code in scripts/i18n to gerritreview Okay, so my follow up question is about this line: comment = i18n.twtranslate(pywikibot.Site(), "selflink-remove") Will that somehow work properly before the scripts/i18n code is submitted? Or do I have to submit the i18n code first and then make the core scripts change?

You must not use scripts/i18n directly but you have to commit the messages dict to pywikibot-i18n repository Greetings xqt _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list Pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l

[Pywikipedia-l] (core) Adding code in scripts/i18n to gerrit review
by Travis Briggs 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi, I've sent my first patch for code review ( https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/138661/) As part of the review, it was noted that I should move a 'msg' variable into scripts/i18n. I have done so, however now I'm wondering what the review process for code in that submodule? Is there a way to add my i18n code to the same gerrit review? Conceptually it is one change, though I'm not sure if maybe the way the i18n works is that the script can function with the corresponding i18n script missing. Is that possible? Thanks, -Travis
