[Pywikipedia-l] Google Code-In 2014: Become a mentor and add tasks!
by Andre Klapper 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hi Pywikibot crew, Google Code-In (GCI) will soon take place again - a contest for 13-17 year old students to contribute to free software projects. Wikimedia wants to take part again. Last year's GCI results were surprisingly good - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2013 We need your help: 1) Go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Mentors.27_corner and read the information there. If something is unclear, ask! 2) Add yourself to the table of mentors on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Contacting_Wikimedia_men… - the more mentors are listed the better our chances are that Google accepts us. 3) Please take ten minutes and go through open recent tickets in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org in your area of interest. If you see self-contained, non-controversial issues with a clear approach which you can recommend to new developers and would mentor: Add the task to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Proposed_tasks Until Sunday November 12th, we need at least five tasks from each of these categories (plus some less technical beginner tasks as well): * Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code * Documentation/Training: Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more - no translation tasks * Outreach/research: Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketing, or studying problems and recommending solutions * Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality * User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction Google wants every organization to have 100+ tasks available on December 1st. Last year, we had 273 tasks in the end. Note that you could also create rather generic tasks, for example fixing two interface messages from the list of dependencies of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38638 Potentially helpful Bugzilla links: * Reports that were proposed for GCI last year and are still open: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL%20whiteboard%3Ag… * Open Pywikibot tickets created in the last six months (if I got your products and components right): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_statu… * 19 already existing Pywikibot "easy" tickets (are they still valid?): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_statu… Could you imagine mentoring some of these tasks? Thank you for your help in reaching out to new contributors and making GCI a success again! Please ask if you have questions. Cheers, andre PS: And in a future Phabricator world, Bugzilla tickets with the 'easy' keyword will become Phabricator tasks with the 'easy' project. -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

[Pywikipedia-l] running bot on Labs
by rubin.happy 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

Hello! I set up my bot on Labs and use shared repo of pywikibot. That's why I am interested in 2 options: 1) how can I define which file should be used as user-config.py in the script's running parameters? For example, I want to run "redirect.py br -delete -always" with config of sysop bot and "redirect.py do -always" with usual bot account, that's why I want to create 2 different configs and define them in parameters. I haven't such functions in global parameters but I am quite sure that this was possible before. 2) I want to run my custom script but use shared repo of framework: for example, to run delinker.py from my home location but use wikipedia.py, etc. from shared repo not to clone frameworks on Labs. Is it possible, too? Thanks, rubin16

[Pywikipedia-l] Scrutinizer for Pywikibot (was Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki Technical Debt)

Would you mind setting that up for Pywikibot (core) too? Maarten

[Pywikipedia-l] Test breakage due to a new warning
by Fabian Neundorf 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

I just want to notify, that the nose tests are going to fail now as test wikipedia now emits a warning when a action=query is executed without a continue parameter.[1] I've uploaded a temporary fix which avoid breaking the tests[2] but this should replaced with a better solution soon. Unfortunately I don't know how we solve this the best. The main problem is that we don't know what we need to do because for that we need to know which version the server is using. My idea would be to add an empty 'continue' if there is no 'continue' or 'rawcontinue' present (could be done in Request._add_defaults). Of course we also need to update QueryGenerator to set 'rawcontinue' at first until we update it to use the new system. I'll try to upload a intermediary fix for which I invite others to add comments (if applicable of course) and improve it. 1: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2014-September… 2: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/168523

[Pywikipedia-l] Wikidata reference implementation in Pywikibot
by Maarten Dammers 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi guys, I'm wondering how to add references that have multiple parts. Take for example https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q76 (Barack Obama). The third reference of date of birth has two parts: * "stated in" -> "Integrated Authority File" * "date retrieved" -> "9 April 2014" Currently a reference in our implementation is a special claim [1]. I'm pretty sure the left hand side of a claim is always one property (for example "date of birth"), with references this can be multiple (for example "stated in" and "date retrieved"). Am I missing something or should we change our implementation? Maarten [1] https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/5b04107f5f4151a82293389…

[Pywikipedia-l] how to track a bug
by Manpreet Kaur 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hi! I am new to pywikibot and have been going through installation/contribution articles. I have two questions: 1. What is the difference b/w pywikibot-core/compat and core/compat? Do i need to install both? 2. I wish to fix the bug 57995 - Add function for list=watchlistraw. On the gerrit page(https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/100363/). A couple of patches have been uploaded but I cant view the given links. Also, I am assuming that I need to continue where others left but how do I know what parts of the bugs have been fixed?

[Pywikipedia-l] Python 3 nosetests
by Fabian Neundorf 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

With Gerrit change 162599 [1] all future changes must be compatible with Python 3. Currently pywikibot is at least compatible with Python 3.4.1 (I only use that version of Python and didn't find any problems) and Travis is already doing the tests on Python 3.3. [1]: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/162599/
