i18n files and pip
by André Costa 08 Sep '22

08 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).

Deprecation policy?
by Damian Johnson 15 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

Newcomer questions
by Damian Johnson 01 Apr '21

Hi lovely Pywikibot folks. I'm the author of tor's python library [1] and recently decided to see what it's like to volunteer for this community instead. I have a few newcomer questions... 1. This email list and #pywikibot are remarkably quiet (~2/month as compared with the 'handful a week' described by the wiki [2]). Does pywikibot have any other communication channels (say, to request a bot) with more activity? 2. I created a bot account with a BotPassword to give our readme's example a whirl but Wikipedia evidently blocks bot access to its sandbox page? % cat demo.py import pywikibot site = pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikipedia') # The site we want to run our bot on page = pywikibot.Page(site, 'Wikipedia:Sandbox') page.text = 'hello world' page.save('pywikibot practice') # Saves the page % python pwb.py demo.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 363, in <module> if not main(): File "pwb.py", line 355, in main run_python_file(filename, File "pwb.py", line 74, in run_python_file exec(compile(source, filename, 'exec', dont_inherit=True), File "./demo.py", line 5, in <module> page.save('pywikibot practice') # Saves the page File "/home/atagar/Desktop/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/tools/__init__.py", line 1452, in wrapper return obj(*__args, **__kw) File "/home/atagar/Desktop/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/tools/__init__.py", line 1452, in wrapper return obj(*__args, **__kw) File "/home/atagar/Desktop/pywikibot/core/pywikibot/page/__init__.py", line 1168, in save raise pywikibot.OtherPageSaveError( pywikibot.exceptions.OtherPageSaveError: Edit to page [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]] failed: Editing restricted by {{bots}}, {{nobots}} or site's equivalent of {{in use}} template CRITICAL: Exiting due to uncaught exception <class 'pywikibot.exceptions.OtherPageSaveError'> Am I reading this error correctly? If so, maybe I could change our readme to something that works out of the box? If that would be ok, any tip on what it should demonstrate? 3. How do I run pywikibot's tests? I'd like to note the command on our development wiki [3]. Thanks! -Damian [1] https://stem.torproject.org/ [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Communication#pywikibot [3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Development
