Separation between the framework and the scripts
by Strainu 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Hi, Are there any guidelines on the separation between the pywikibot framework and the scripts bundled with it? I'm referring in particular with the way things are deprecated/removed from the framework just because they're not used _in the scripts bundled with pywikibot_. I've recently upgraded pywikibot and stumbled on an issue with one of my bots, who was silently failing because the family file did not contain namespacesWithSubpage any longer. This was removed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/219610/ . Ignoring the fact that +2 was given by the commiter himself (which is bad practice no matter what), the field was removed without any apparent warning, just because it seemed unused. If pywikibot does not have any guideline for framework/scripts separation and repsect for 3rd party bots usage of features, can we please create one? A minimum requirement should be to keep any deprecated field/method for at least 1 year (with warnings), then remove it. In order to enforce this separation, perhaps we should move the scripts folder in a different repository. Thanks, Strainu

[Pywikipedia-l] Template parsing code
by Hannes Röst 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hello all >From one of my assignments as a bot operator I have some code which does template parsing and general text parsing (e.g. Image/File tags). It is not using regex and thus able to correctly parse nested templates and other such nasty things. I have written those as library classes and written tests for them which cover almost all of the code. I would now really like to contribute that code back to the community. Would you be interested in adding this code to the pywikibot framework? If yes, can I send the code to someone for code review or how do you usually operate? Greetings Hannes PS: wiki userpage is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hannes_R%C3%B6st

Sorry for doubling. Forgot about subject. Hello, can you help please hot to add/remove spaces in text For exmaple "J.R.R.Tolkien" should transform to "J. R. R.
