by Maarten Dammers 27 May '12

27 May '12

Hi everyone, Insix weeks (1-3 June 2012) it's time again for the annual Berlin Hackathon [1]. It would be nice to also work on Pywikipedia there. The following people who are active in Pywikipedia are attending the Hackathon: * Merlijn van Deen (valhallasw) * Siebrand Mazeland (siebrand) * Maarten Dammers (multichill) * Bináris ? * xqt ? * You? It would be nice if more Pywikipedia developers or people who want to become Pywikipedia developers would come to the hackathon. There are only 10 or so places left, so if you'd like to come, please register soon. Some financial subsidy is available- If you need to request financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form. Registration form: https://wmberlin.eventbrite.com/ Maarten en Merlijn (your friendly list admins) [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2012

[Pywikipedia-l] handleArgs
by Gnumarcoo 21 May '12

21 May '12

According with you, why this /for /doesn't work: for arg in pywikibot.handleArgs(): genFactory.handleArg(arg) in my python script? Error message is: "name 'genFactory' is not defined" I've: import wikipedia as pywikibot surely it's a small detail that escapes me... but I cannot find it. :( Tnx, Marco

I was about to forward this email to the pywikipedia-l list to suggest someone to implement this. Based on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload#Chunked_uploading this shouldn't be too hard.

[Pywikipedia-l] Noisy interwiki.py
by Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W. 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Running interwiki.py in the background produces infrequent but steady stream of beeps, which I can't figure out how to turn off. It seems like occasionally when program tries to display am non English character it beeps. The beep does not respond to computer's volume or mute control. I was looking for an option for less verbose output, but could not find one. Is there any other way to control it other than disabling motherboard speaker? I run interwiki.py from DOS command line in Windows XP. Jarosław Tuszyński, PhD. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) 703-516-7406 (Office) 571-245-5824 (BlackBerry)

[Pywikipedia-l] rewrite or trunk?
by Morten Wang 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

I asked this question in another thread, and it might have been buried somehow: What's the take on trunk vs rewrite/2.0? When I started using PWB a couple of years ago (or thereabouts), I got the impression that rewrite was the preferred version to use. Should I consider switching back? Cheers, Morten

Yes, no more chcp crap! Update to r10043 to feel the magic! (I have tested windows XP using python 2.5.4 and 2.7.2 and linux using python 2.7.1. Unicode command-line arguments are not supported (yet), as this requires reworking all sys.argv to pywikipedia-managed code. If stuff breaks, go back to r10042 and send an e-mail). Best, Merlijn

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Using pywikipedia on a https:// site

Maybe you bot has the right page but read permission is needed for login api call which makes no sense. Is there any white list to enable the login api call? Try to login with use_api_login = False in your user_config but I am not sure whether this still works with mw >= 1.18 Regards xqt ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Thehelpfulone <thehelpfulonewiki(a)gmail.com> An: pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Datum: 12.04.2012 21:49 Betreff: [Pywikipedia-l] Using pywikipedia on a https:// site > Hi all, > > I'm trying to use pywikipedia on a private wmf wiki, it can only be > accessed by viewing it in https://.

[Pywikipedia-l] Recent changes, permission denied need patrol right
by Morten Wang 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi, To keep part of SuggestBot's data updated I have a script that polls regularly (once an hour) and uses the site.recentchanges() method to get a time-limited list of the recent changes. Lately I have noticed that this script throws an error: raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"]) pywikibot.data.api.APIError: rcpermissiondenied: You need the patrol right to request the patrolled flag >From what I can tell by sending manual requests to en-WP's API, I don't get this error message if I'm logged in (as a regular user), but it pops up if I'm not logged in. SuggestBot should be logged in, as I make calls to pywikibot.getSite() and site.has_right() before I call site.recentchanges(). So it could seem like the problem is related to not being logged in. I'm not sure where to start debugging this, maybe it's not a pywikibot problem? Maybe it's only something I'm seeing? I'm running the latest revision of the rewrite branch, btw. Any input on where to start looking for clues would be great, thanks! Cheers, Morten
