Maybe. But I am not familar with the processes behind that module. I just use it. xqt ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Bináris Gesendet: Freitag, 8.

[Pywikipedia-l] i18n progress
by Maarten Dammers 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Hi everyone, Would be nice if more bots were converted to use translatewiki. Who wants to help? :-) Merlijn described it in an email [1], but I'm not sure if it ended up somewhere in online documentation. Maarten [1] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2011-January/006632.html

[Pywikipedia-l] Commons messages mess
by Maarten Dammers 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Hi guys, The Commons messages are now a big mess. Everything gets imported from other bots, duplication etc etc. I was thinking about just making a lib (commons_lib.py?) to store the messages and moving the translations to the i18n later on. Good plan? Or should it be in the family file? Comments please :-) Affected files: nowcommons.py imagecopy.py imagecopy_self.py imagetransfer.py tag_nowcommons.py (maybe more) Maarten

[Pywikipedia-l] Fixes and functions (was: Regex help needed)

I am glad to announce this small guide to functions which is the result of my last two day's work: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:Bin%C3%A1ris/Fixes_and_functio… This shows not only an example of a complicated replacement, but also the way to compare the match to the whole article (removing redundant links), or generating a long fix by means of a function. Another example is how to choose between two options for replacement during runtime (when you cannot decide it in coding time without a text environment). -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] A strange warning message
by Bináris 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Hi, I ran an own script (not published yet), and suddenly I got a strange message (see bolded "Warning" line): Wikipédia:Kocsmafal (műszaki)/Archív56 56 Wikipédia:Kocsmafal (műszaki)/Archív57 57 *Warning! len(text) does not match content-length: 6952 != 39337* Saving Wikipédia:Kocsmafal (műszaki)/Tartalomjegyzék Updating page [[Wikipédia:Kocsmafal (műszaki)/Tartalomjegyzék]] via API This is NOT my code, there are no such words in my program! Last line is from wikipedia.py, the others from my script, but where does this bold text come? No module name or line number appeared. Imports are: import re import date import wikipedia as pywikibot import archivebot -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] python 2.72
by info＠gno.de 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, Python 2.7.2 has been released at Sun, 12 June 2011. This release does no longer trigger unicode bug 3081100, which happened for characters with multiple accents (for example on hak-, hi-, cdo- and sa-wiki). I guess it is highly recommended to migrate to this new release if the local version has this bug. Greetings xqt

[Pywikipedia-l] botMayEdit() and {{nobots}}
by Morten Wang 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, I've noticed botMayEdit() doesn't check for a whitelist if the template used is {{nobots}}, instead it always returns False. Is that a bug or a feature? From reading the documentation on en:Template:Bots, it seems that {{nobots|allow=FooBot}} isn't actually a supported way of using the template (instead it should be {{bots|allow=FooBot}}) so pywikibot is doing it right. Still, I just wanted to check before I go fiddling with the template on somebody's talk page (again) :) Cheers, Morten

[Pywikipedia-l] Regex help needed
by Bináris 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi! Please help me. Hungarian dates are in the form yyyy. mm. dd., or yyyy. <monthname> dd., without leading zeros. In a text environment we use the month names, so I replace numbered months with named months, and I remove leading zeros from day numbers. The line in fixes.py is, for January: (ur'(\d{1,4}(?:\]\])?)\. ?01\. ?(\d\d?)', ur'\1. január \2'), This is OK, no problem up to this point. The rule is that the day number has to be followed by a dot, except it is followed by a hyphen and a suffix. First level of enhancement is to write a dot if necessary. - if there is a dot there, don't remove it anyway (a hyphen is often used erroneously, and I don't want to make a bigger problem) - if there is no dot, but the day is followed by a hyphen, don't put a dot - if there is anything but a dot or a hyphen after the day number, put a dot after the number I made some experiments with (?(id/name)yes-pattern|no-pattern) syntax ( http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/re.html), but with no valuable result. Can you help me? There will be further levels if this task is solved because users are very creative in making errors. Further problems are: - Hyphen is often used instead of ndash when describing an interval of two dates. In this case a dot and a space is required between the day number and the ndash. I don't want to correct this in this session or this fix if it is too difficult, but the dot should not be removed in this case (either they write a space or not). - Sometimes hyphen with no dot is correct, but there is an extra space that should be removed. This can be recognized by means of writing a limited set of suffixes after the hyphen in the regex. - Sometimes there is a word after the day but space is omitted and should be supplied. -- Bináris

You are welcome. :-) I do use it regularly myself and like it very much. 2011/6/27 Chris Watkins <chriswaterguy(a)appropedia.org> > Hi Bináris, > > I want to thank you (a year later) - I was confused by the r8700 at the > time, but I just got back into bot work and looked at this problem again and > found that the -save option works perfectly - so thanks! > > -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Where is the error?

Is this a replace.py error or an xmlreader.py error or a dump error? Reading XML dump...
