i18n files and pip
by André Costa 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Hi all, I'm building a small pywikibot tool[1] which is designed to be installed via pip (and in turn installs Pywikibot via pip). The tool uses the page.touch() function which is where I get a pywikibot.i18n.TranslationError when I run it. page.touch() gets it's edit summary from i18n.twtranslate(self.site, 'pywikibot-touch') which in turn is defined in /scripts/i18n/pywikibot/. Unless I'm confused the Error occurs because the pip distribution does not include the /scripts folder or the i18n submodule. So my first question is am I just doing something obviously wrong and the i18n submodule should have been available over pip as well? If it's not just me then would it not make sense to have any i18n files necessary to the Pywikibot *library* to also be distributed via the same pip package? (i18n for scripts is another issue since for scripts you cannot use pip).

Using noreferences.py within PAWS ipynb
by goethe.wiki＠gmail.com 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, I am trying to build a script to add a reference to a few hundred articles on pt.wikipedia. I would like to use the noreferences.py script that is part of core, to add a reference section in the same run, if it is not already present in the article. I have tried to import the script, the NoReferencesBot class, but I must be doing something wrong. It says that the function hasn't been defined. You can check what I have been trying to do here: https://public.paws.wmcloud.org/User:GoEThe/IUCN%20status.ipynb Any help will be greatly appreciated! Regards, GoEThe

Deprecation policy?
by Damian Johnson 14 Nov '21

14 Nov '21

Hi lovely pywikibot folks. I'd like to clean up our deprecated code since we have some that's six years old.... % grep -RIoh "since='[^']\+'" ./* | sort | head -n 5 since='20150206' since='20150515' since='20150615' since='20150617' since='20150619' % grep -RIoh "since='[^']\+'" ./* | wc -l 130 What is pywikibot's policy regarding code deprecation? Can we remove it after a set duration and, if so, what is it? Thanks! -Damian
