[Pywikipedia-announce] Pywikibot is ending Python 2 support!
by Martin Urbanec 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Together with the last Python 2 release from April, 2020, Pywikibot team will release the **last version that supports Python 2**. We created a **python2" tag** marking the version, so you can continue running your Python 2 scripts using this tag, if you really need to. After that version, Pywikibot is not going to receive any further patches and bug fixes related to Python 2. Its code is going to be cleaned from Python 2 specific functions, patches, deprecations and other stuff, so make sure you'll use this tag if you still want to run Pywikibot using Python 2. Pywikibot team strongly recommends to migrate your scripts to Python 3. To make it happen, you can use Python 2to3 script installed by default with Python 2.6+, see https://docs.python.org/2/library/2to3.html. You can also just try to run your script using Python 3 (the "-simulate" parameter could be handy) and fix all the issues. If you encounter problems with the migration, you can always ask us here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242120 Best regards, Martin Urbanec and Dvorapa _______________________________________________ pywikibot-announce mailing list pywikibot-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikibot-announce

Unsupported datatype when creating new Property via WbEditEntity API
by mosha chen 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Hi, pywikibot experts: I am now creating new Property using the wikidata Wbeditentity API <https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=wbeditentity>, I'm running wikibase software via the wikibase-Docker images on my local machine, and use the pywikibot() script: data = { 'datatype': 'math', # mandatory 'descriptions': { 'en': { 'language': 'en', 'value': row['Property Description'] } }, 'labels': { 'en': { 'language': 'en', 'value': row['Property Label'] } } } params = { 'action': 'wbeditentity', 'new': 'property', 'data': json.dumps(data), 'summary': 'bot adding in properties', 'token': site.tokens['edit'] } req = site._simple_request(**params) results = req.submit() It would report errors when creating the following datatypes: *math wikibase-sense wikibase-lexeme musical-notation wikibase-form * ERROR: P5973 param-illegal: A datatype was expected, but either missing or not recognized. [messages:[{'name': 'wikibase-api-not-recognized-datatype', 'parameters': [], 'html': {'*': 'A datatype was expected, but either missing or not recognized.'}}]; help:See http://localhost:8181/w/api.php for API usage. The other types will return success, just list some: external-id wikibase-item ... geo-shape However, the unsupported datatypes are in the supported datatype list by the official document: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Data_type Any idea? -- Regards, Mosha

by mosha chen 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Hi, pywikibot experts, I've read through this ticket( https://www.mail-archive.com/pywikibot@lists.wikimedia.org/msg00186.html) for creating a new property using site._simple_request(**argv) api call, I wonder how I can delete a property using a similar way? for example code like this way: params = { 'action': 'delete', 'id': 'P10', 'summary': 'bot remove', 'token': site.tokens['delete'] } req = site._simple_request(**params) results = req.submit() print (results) I've searched the actions by wikimedia API: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help, It seems there's no action for delete property, any idea? -- Regards, Mosha

Problem with units in pywikibot and wikidata
by Dennis Diefenbach 06 Dec '19

06 Dec '19

Hi, I have a little problem using pywikibot with wikidata…… I’m setting a unit like: wikibase_unit = pywikibot.ItemPage(wikibase_repo, id) target = pywikibot.WbQuantity(amount=wikidata_amount, unit=wikibase_unit, site=wikibase_repo, error = Decimal(wikidata_upperBound) - Decimal(wikidata_amount)) The problem is the URL of wikibase_unit. It is http://localhost:8181 <http://localhost:8181/> instead of the public URL. The public URL is specified when I create the wikibase_repo in the family file. Any clue? Can someone help? Merci D063520

27 Nov '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- Feladó: Ariel Glenn WMF <ariel(a)wikimedia.org> Date: 2019. nov. 27., Sze, 14:38 Subject: [Wikitech-l] BREAKING CHANGE: schema update, xml dumps To: Wikipedia Xmldatadumps-l <Xmldatadumps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> We plan to move to the new schema for xml dumps for the February 1, 2020 run. Update your scripts and apps accordingly! The new schema contains an entry for each 'slot' of content. This means that, for example, the commonswiki dump will contain MediaInfo information as well as the usual wikitext. See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/core/+/master/docs… for the schema and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Schema_update_for_multi… for further explanation and example outputs. Phabricator task for the update: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238972 PLEASE FORWARD to other lists as you deem appropriate. Thanks!

accessibility feature addition
by Robert Morgan 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

Hi all, The group from my computer science class is hoping to contribute to enhancing accessibility (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accessibility_guide_for_developers). Our first thought is to write a script related to checking and updating the alt attribute on images. A few questions: - Is this valuable to the community? - Can user created scripts become part of the official code base? - I don't see any current features related to accessibility, but I'm a n00b. Am I missing something that's already there? Thanks! Accessibility guide for developers - MediaWiki<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Accessibility_guide_for_developers> Accessibility is important for our users and we can improve it if we take into account a few basic ideas and rules. Accessibility is difficult insofar as there are no fixed and universally accepted technical standards that actually work consistently and for all users. www.mediawiki.org
