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

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

Hi AntiCompositeNumber, that did the job. I was not aware about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/BotPasswords and following instructions given over there helped me log in.

Hello, I try to add a support to Lingua Libre (https://lingualibre.org) in Pywikibot but I cannot figure out how to connect to the website to be able to edit (the current support of Lingua Libre in PWB allows to "read" Lingua Libre, not to "edit"). The problem is the way to log in is quit unusual. Normal user who wants to log in on Lingua Libre, has to log in on Wikimedia Commons via OAuth (you can see cliking on https://lingualibre.org/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=LinguaLi… ) And it makes me completely lost about the way to log in a bot with such system. Here is the ouput of python pwb.py login -v (I try to log in with my user account to check) with this content in user-config.py family = 'lingualibre' mylang = 'lingualibre' usernames['lingualibre']['lingualibre'] = 'Pamputt' Python 3.8.9 (default, Apr 5 2021, 18:09:13) [GCC 10.2.1 20210130] Found 1 lingualibre:lingualibre processes running, including this one. WARNING: No user is logged in on site lingualibre:lingualibre Password for user Pamputt on lingualibre:lingualibre (no characters will be shown): Logging in to lingualibre:lingualibre as Pamputt WARNING: API warning (main): Unrecognized parameters: username, password.

You can also have a look at https://lingualibre.org/api.php?action=query&meta=authmanagerinfo&amireques… to see that direct authentication are forbidden ("canauthenticatenow": "") So, is anyone know how to log in with such authentication system (I am completely lost with OAuth). Thanks in advance Pamputt
