[Pywikipedia-l] Pagefromfile.py and UTF-8
by Bojan Kalkan 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi everybody. I have problem with this script. I saved textual file with future articles in UTF-8, but instead of Cyrillic letters, I got Ð¡Ð°Ð¼Ð¸Ñ? Ð?Ð°Ñ?Ð°Ñ?.

This is a nice script, I like the idea, thanks.

In other wikis it is not sure that all the topics have an own category; as a matter of fact, I looked at User:Multichill/Wallonia in Commons that has also a few red links. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Category.isHidden()
by Maarten Dammers 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hi guys, Fun and useful thing to implement: A isHidden() function for the category object. Who feels like implementing this? You don't have to actually get the fulltext of the category to see if it's hidden, you should be able to get it like http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=categories&ti… Maarten

[Pywikipedia-l] Pywikipedia.org

The site is now hosted at the toolserver, under the 'pywikipedia' project. (/home/projects/p/y/w/pywikipedia/ www.pywikipedia.org/) Currently I am the only maintainer for that project, but at least it's not simple to take over if I suddenly disappear. Of course, people with a toolserver account are welcome to help maintain it - the plan is to include a more elaborate site with documentation etc. Best regards, Merlijn

[Pywikipedia-l] pywikipedia - ImportError: No module named i18n
by Danny 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hi! In my work we have a wikipedia on MediaWiki engine. Yesterday I downloaded pywikipedia framework to use a bot. Unfortunately, when I try to run category.py script I get the following error message: ======================================== root@/var/www/pywikipedia> python category.py move Please enter the old name of the category: foo Please enter the new name of the category: bar Traceback (most recent call last): File "category.py", line 949, in ? main() File "category.py", line 919, in main bot.run() File "category.py", line 395, in run self.editSummary = i18n.twtranslate(site, 'category-changing') \ File "/var/www/pywikipedia/pywikibot/i18n.py", line 226, in twtranslate transdict = getattr(__import__("i18n", {}, {}, [package]), package).msg ImportError: No module named i18n ======================================== My user-config.py file is: family = 'WBDWiki' mylang = 'pl' usernames['WBDWiki']['pl'] = u'WikiBot' console_encoding = 'utf-8' where 'pl' = Polish (Poland) MediaWiki 1.16.1, PHP 5.2.10, MySQL 5.0.45, Python 2.4.3 Any ideas?

[Pywikipedia-l] User talk page not recognized by bot
by Bináris 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi, *user vita *is an outdated but well-working name for user talk namespace in Hungarian Wikipedia. If I write [[user vita:Bináris]], it takes me directly to my talk page (which is now called *Szerkesztővita:Bináris*). But for the code s = u'user vita:Bináris' p = pywikibot.Page(site,s) print p.namespace() the result is 0 instead of 3. Where is the error? -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Paramteters of handleArgs
by Bináris 18 May '11

18 May '11

I see in a couple of bots this construction: def main(*args): for arg in pywikibot.handleArgs(*args): etc. Now, if I write instead of this def main(): for arg in pywikibot.handleArgs(): etc. the result seems to be just the same. I tried with valid global and with unique parameters as well. So, what is the difference? I know the theory that * means a variable width argument list, but if I omit it, the behaviour does not change. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Roman numbers
by Bináris 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

I wrote a piece of code that can transform numbers *to* and* from* Roman numbers from 1 to 999 (because they are regular in this range). Is anybody interested to put it in some core modul? Then I can make it a bit nicer. I saw them in date.py until XXX as a pure list. -- Bináris

[Pywikipedia-l] Strange month names from Site.mediawiki_message
by Bináris 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Good morning! I collected month names at http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:Bin%C3%A1ris/Tartalomjegyz%C3%… as shown in archivebot.py. I need it for writing and testing the TOCbot<http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:Bin%C3%A1ris/TOCbot>, which has to recognize short and long month names in archive name patterns. The relevant part of my code is: * text += '<br>'.join([Site.mediawiki_message(MonthsS[i]) for i in range(12)]) + '\n|' text += '<br>'.join([Site.mediawiki_message(MonthsL[i]) for i in range(12)]) *for each Site in site.validLanguageLinks(). If there is any Dutch here, please check the *nl* row, because I saw that archivebot.py handles it in a specific way that I don't understand, and cannot check because of different locale. Now, some rows show irregular behavior which I don't understand. 1. In rows *ne* and *ti* a part of the short names seems to be native, and some of the short names English. (Apr, Oct in *ne* and from Jul to Dec in *ti*.) Is that perhaps a MediaWiki bug? 2. In the last row, *zu*, all the long names have a 'u' at the beginning, just as in Python Unicode strings. Is that correct or some misbehaviour? 3. In the row *ba* there are two short names (ғин, май) that don't fit in the line. Or is that the other ten? They are different and lower case, while the others upper case and identical to the long name. Is that a bug or a feature? If bug, is it in MediaWiki? 4. There are two rows, *ba* and *ky*, where there are alternative versions in parenthesis, the basic version being *almost* identical to Russian. Does it mean that any of the given versions may appear in that wiki as a month name? -- Bináris
