[Pywikipedia-l] Mailing lists
by Pyfisch 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Hello, at the moment Pywikibot has four mailing lists. * pywikipedia-announce – Only two messages this year (one spam, the other one to say sorry.) no last year * pywikipedia-l – This list, very active ;-) * pywikipedia-svn – Not needed anymore because of the move to git. * pywikipedia-bugs – Used to inform users about bugs reported on Sourceforge, after the move to Bugzilla this is not needed anymore, right? So I propose to close at least pywikipedia-svn and pywikipedia-bugs, maybe also pywikipedia-announce because it is not used. Regards Pyfisch

[Pywikipedia-l] GIT stashing issue
by Dr. Trigon 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all! I get following error while using git: > error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten > by merge: > maintenance/make_i18n_dict.py Please, commit your changes or stash > them before you can merge. Aborting I never did one single change to this file, so whats the point here? @xqt: might that be the kind of stashing issues you encounter too?

[Pywikipedia-l] Wikibase data model implementation in Python
by Jeroen De Dauw 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

Hey, While looking at the source of the pywikipediabot in the past, I noticed that it contained a bunch of Wikibase specific code (sometimes even Wikidata specific). The code I saw often did a poor job at separating different concerns, and did some weird things to represent parts of the Wikibase data model. I figured it'd be a lot nicer if there was a clean and correct implementation of the Wikibase data model that can then be used by pywikipediabot, and other Python projects that need to interact with a Wikibase instance. I went ahead and created what is essentially my first ever Python project [0] to do exactly this. (This is far from fully implemented, and only linked to here to give you an idea of what I am talking about.) Since I'm not following pywikipediabot development closely, I'm not aware of how much interest there is for having such a component. I'm also not sure on what exactly would need to be implemented to serve the needs to the pywikipediabot codebase, or on how to proceed to then starting with the refactorings required to make use of it. What is essentially needed for this to go forward is a pywikipediabot developer that takes charge of this project. If that happens I'll happily make the contributions required to ensure the data model implementation is done both correctly and cleanly.

[Pywikipedia-l] Bugzilla
by Amir Ladsgroup 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

This bug needs your attention: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52692 We have to discuss on components I suggest to add "Wikidata" components to the list. I suggest we remove some very old components too. Please discuss in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Migrating_to_bugzilla -- Amir

[Pywikipedia-l] BS and externals (again ;)
by Dr. Trigon 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all! We have again the discussion about BS (beautifulsoup) and externals. Just a thought about that; might it be possible that we have a philosophy mismatch between win (xqt, ...) and linux (me, ...) users? Might it be possible that win users want to have "everything" included whereas linux useres are used to have independent packages with dependencies between them? If this is the problem, what about having averything included e.g. in the nightly release? I do have no idea about how nightly works and whether this is already the case? This release would then be >100MB but as used from python "with batteries included". Thanks for your replies!

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] wbsearchentities()
by Chinmay Naik 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

hi, I am trying to retreive wikidata items by label through wbsearchentities() using the "continue" parameter from https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbsearchentities&fo… Can i retreive more than 100 items using this? I notice the 'search-continue' returned by the search result disappears after 50 items. for ex https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbsearchentities&fo… Is it possible to retreive all wikidata items with a particular label? For ex: Retreive all items with label "abc". Thanks, Chinmay

I agree with having BeautifulSoup as part of the framework (which was it til few months ago). It is a main part of the compat branch and no script will run without it. As suggested (see below) I would prefer the alternate bs3 i.e. BeautifulSoup.py eighter in topmost folder (as it was previously) or in the external folder. I do not see any advantage for bs4 and your renaming. > > > > I guess we will never have a compat release for python 3+. > > This is in my TODO list but not a big priority because nobody like python 3 I do not dislike py3+ but I do not like a lot of pywikbot branches because it is hard to work to keep them on the same level. core branch was started 6 years ago and it needs this time to be accepted by more and more bot owners.

I'll do very soon Be aware there could be other scripts from bot owners using beautifulsoup directliy and not via pywikibot/wikipedia module. > > Greetings xqt
