Stumped with a problem
by KPHungerstrike 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Hello, I use Pywikibot for a Wikia wiki I run, mostly for deleting multiple articles. I'm still really new at this since I only use my bot for mass-categorizing and deleting. Today while I was deleting pages my bot ran into an error. I unfortunately didn't save the message but whenever I execute login.py, I get the following message: C:\Pywikibot>login.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Pywikibot\login.py", line 59, in <module> import query File "C:\Pywikibot\query.py", line 30, in <module> import wikipedia as pywikibot File "C:\Pywikibot\wikipedia.py", line 162, in <module> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup, BeautifulStoneSoup, SoupStrainer ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup I've switched from Python 2.7 to 3.4 and back, and I've also updated my Pywikibot files. I am officially stumped. Again, I'd like to remind you all, I'm not well-versed in this so I'll try my best to follow directions. Thanks for your time. -KP

Efficient loading of last revision ID for pages
by Morten Wang 09 Apr '16

09 Apr '16

Hey all, I'm working on extending the pywikibot.Page object to add methods to get an article's assessment rating, predicted rating (through ORES[1]), and number of page views (through the page view API). SuggestBot uses these three pieces of information when posting suggestions on the English Wikipedia. I have preliminary code that works[2], and am now trying to extend it with a couple of generators and bulk loading to increase efficiency. Assessment ratings are grabbed from talk pages, so that part appears straightforward. ORES uses revisions IDs, however, so I'm looking for an efficient way to get "lastrevid" for a list of pages (pywikibot.Page objects). I can use a PreloadingGenerator for it, as that sets `_revid`, but since I don't need the page content that seems excessive. Modifying the `preloadpages` method from site.py is of course possible, but perhaps there's another alternative here?

How to create a new Property via pywikibot?
by comfortably numb 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hi pywikibot experts, How can I create new properties via pywikibot? (I'm trying to do it via bot, because I'm doing some experiments on a dedicated wikibase installation with - possibly - hundreds of properties to be created... and Pywikibot would certainly be my favorite tool!) In case I have, instead, to directly wrap the action "wbeditentity" from mediawiki API ( https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=wbeditentity ), are there some Python examples? And, in case I have to use the php script "importProperties.php" ( https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Wikibase/blob/master/repo/maintenance/impor… ), how can I manage properties more complex than the ones contained in the example ( https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Wikibase/blob/master/repo/maintenance/en-el… )? Using pywikibot, I'm able to MODIFY existing properties with instructions like the following ones (which let me generate the object-content in one shot via json ... as I need): In [1]: import pywikibot ; site = pywikibot.Site() ; repo = site.data_repository() In [2]: property_page = pywikibot.PropertyPage(repo, u"P2") In [3]: myjson = {u'descriptions': {u'en': {u'language': u'en', u'value': u'invented description'}}, u'labels': {u'en': {u'language': u'en', u'value': u'test property'}}} In [4]: property_page.editEntity(myjson) ...but I cannot CREATE new properties (instantiating a PropertyPage object), because pywikibot asks for the identifier of an existing instance: In [11]: p_page = pywikibot.PropertyPage(repo) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- InvalidTitle Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-11-e72b812b8cd3> in <module>() ----> 1 p_page = pywikibot.PropertyPage(repo) /home/user/src/pywikibot_repo/pywikibot/page.pyc in __init__(self, source, title) 4027 if not title or not self.id.startswith('P'): 4028 raise pywikibot.InvalidTitle( -> 4029 u"'%s' is not an property page title" % title) 4030 Property.__init__(self, source, self.id) 4031 InvalidTitle: '' is not an property page title In [12]: In fact, as I understand, in the source code of the "WikibasePage" class, I see that while for the Item type, a "Special case for empty item" is mentioned ( https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/pywikibot/page.py#L… ) # Special case for empty item. if title is None or title == '-1': super(ItemPage, self).__init__(site, u'-1', ns=ns) assert self.id == '-1' return ...for the Property type, instead, an empty object is NOT allowed ( https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/pywikibot/page.py#L… ) if not title or not self.id.startswith('P'): raise pywikibot.InvalidTitle( u"'%s' is not an property page title" % title) Property.__init__(self, source, self.id) Thanks a lot for your attention!

How to create a new Property via pywikibot?
by comfortably numb 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Dear pywikibot experts, Thanks very much: your suggestion worked perfectly, and I can create complex Property. In addition to the 2 options, discussed up to now ... ( - solution via Pywikibot: which would require a new patch to the library, as André Costa explained https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikibot/2016-March/009420.html - solution via php script "importProperties.php": as described in https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikibot/2016-March/009419.html ) ... following Ricordisamoa's suggestion, I can create new COMPLEX Property via "API wrapping", also containing Statements with Qualifier and Reference! Here are the instructions: import json ; import pywikibot ; site = pywikibot.Site('en', 'mywiki') ; site.login() data = {u'aliases': {}, u'claims': {u'P2': [{u'mainsnak': {u'datatype': u'string', u'datavalue': {u'type': u'string', u'value': u'value for test property'}, u'property': u'P2', u'snaktype': u'value'}, u'qualifiers': {u'P3': [{u'datatype': u'string', u'datavalue': {u'type': u'string', u'value': u'string target for Qualifier'}, u'property': u'P3', u'snaktype': u'value'}]}, u'qualifiers-order': [u'P3'], u'rank': u'normal', u'references': [{u'snaks': {u'P36': [{u'datatype': u'string', u'datavalue': {u'type': u'string', u'value': u'srting target for Reference'}, u'property': u'P36', u'snaktype': u'value'}]}, u'snaks-order': [u'P36']}], u'type': u'statement'}]}, u'datatype': u'string', u'descriptions': {u'en': {u'language': u'en', u'value': u'invented description'}}, u'labels': {u'en': {u'language': u'en', u'value': u'Complex property created via API'}}, u'type': u'property'} req = site._simple_request(**params) ; print(req.submit()) > Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 20:18:52 +0100 > From: Ricordisamoa <ricordisamoa(a)openmailbox.org> > To: pywikibot(a)lists.wikimedia.org > Subject: Re: [pywikibot] How to create a new Property via pywikibot? > Message-ID: <56F58F1C.2000106(a)openmailbox.org> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" > > Example > > import json > import pywikibot > > site = pywikibot.Site('en', 'mywiki') > site.login() > data = { > 'datatype': 'string', # mandatory > 'descriptions': { > 'en': { > 'language': 'en', > 'value': 'invented description' > } > }, > 'labels': { > 'en': { > 'language': 'en', > 'value': 'test property' > } > } > } > params = { > 'action': 'wbeditentity', > 'new': 'property', > 'data': json.dumps(data), > 'summary': 'my edit summary', > 'token': site.tokens['edit'] > } > req = site._simple_request(**params) > print(req.submit())

test suite failing badly
by John Mark Vandenberg 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

The test suite is falling into disrepair. It would be good if +2'ers can suggest changes in the last few months which may have caused these breakages. We need to investigate these quickly, as other bugs may be lurking behind them, and they prevent the test suite being useful for determining if new proposed changes will create additional regressions. Running the test suite on my linux workstation shows the following errors: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128987 testQueriesDirectFromClaim fails with TypeError: Cannot construct a query from a claim of type external-id https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128988 TestWiktionaryGraph.test_octagon failing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128989 TestLogeventsFactoryGenerator multi event tests failing: 500 not less than or equal to 10 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128990 WikiStats sorting algorithm causing unexpected largest wikisource https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128991 test_pagegen_i18n_input failing: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (arz): No such file or directory https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128955 script test for featured.py fails https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128994 Some proofread page tests are writing to the wiki without being declared as write tests There are other errors occurring on travis builds, which also need investigating, such as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128318 No handlers could be found for logger "pywiki" Also Xqt has encountered a bug in the test suite for MS Windows https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128453 script_tests fails for editarticle in windows environment -- John Vandenberg

Welcome and good luck. I've added cc for the two main mailing lists relevant for your project. For anyone interested, this project is for Wikiversity & Pywikibot: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89761 As you know PHP, you may also want to look at adding GIFT support to the Quiz extension, as that would also allow more interoperability with other MOOC systems that support quiz functionality. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T24475 -- John Vandenberg

Re: [pywikibot] Interest in Pywikibot for GSoC '16
by Sriharsh Bhyravajjula 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hello! I am Sriharsh Bhyravajjula (irc/phab nick: *darthbhyrava*), IInd year undergraduate student at IIIT-Hyderabad, India. I am pursuing the CLD programme which would award me a B.Tech in Computer Science and an MS by research in Computational Linguistics. I am proficient in Python [1] as well as in C/C++[2], and have some basic knowledge of CSS, JS and PHP. I have been contributing to mediawiki since mid February, and have a couple of merged commits on phabricator already which've helped me get familiar with the environment. I am working on more tasks in pywikibot to get a hang of the scripts and their interactions with each other. I am interested in picking up a task in Pywikibot for my project proposal, and plan on choosing one of these as my possible projects: - Pywikibot to detect and correctly handle edits that trigger abusefilter rules - T85656 (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85656) - Implement support for Flagged Revisions in Pywikibot - T57081 ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57081) - Implement support for a large core MediaWiki component or extension deployed to Wikimedia sites - T89067 ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89067) More wishfully, I was going through the Community Wishlist results and saw that the 'Copy and Paste detection bot' ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120435) was very popular. If there were to be a GSoC task made out of this, and mini-tasks suggested for the same, I would love to contribute in some way and draft a proposal around this. I understand that mentors are short-staffed in pywikibot now. But legoktm has suggested on IRC that if the proposal was solid enough, and provided he had less than two projects himself, he'd step up as a mentor. :) Any help for the above would be very welcome. :) I plan on finishing three tasks I am currently working on by the 6th/7th of March, and then, depending on the choice of project, finish the required mini-tasks in another week after that, so I can have a project proposal ready by the 16th at the latest. @jaydb, @legoktm, @Dalda, @Billinghurst @valhallasw'cloud (and @polybuildr, my college senior, who was selected for GSoC last year) have all been very helpful so far, and I hope someone will step up as a mentor for the projects I draft a proposal for, too. Thanks and sorry for the long mail! darthbhyrava [1] I have built a Pacman game, an AI bot for Ultimate Tic Tac Toe, dependency parser, a django-based portal and some generic scripts in python.

Possible-Tech-Project: catimages.py -> core
by Abdeali Kothari 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi, I wanted to participate in GSoC 2016 with wikimedia and found a possible project about moving catimages.py from pywikibot-contrib to pywikibot-core. You can find the issue on phabricator at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66838 I spoke to the author of catimages (@DrTrigon) and he mentioned that he was willing to be a mentor for such a project He also raised concern as to whether the community actually wanted this. As the script is quite dated, he mentioned that possibly some things in server side commons need to be changed to work correctly. I wanted to check if there was still demand for this transition or should the issue be closed ? Is this bot still of use to commons ? Regards, AbdealiJK
