Is there a place to send new pywikibot scripts?
I wrote one, "cathash", which is rather useful to me, and I think it might be useful to other people as well:
#!/usr/bin/env python3 r"""Compares the contents of a Mediawiki files category to local files.
Usage:
pwb.py cathash category [localfiles...]
where:
category is the name of a Mediawiki category
localfiles is an optional list of local files
Hereinafter, "local files" means any file whose name is in "localfiles". "Remote files" means any file which is a member of the named category.
We normalise each name as follows: - Spaces in remote names are replaced with underscores. - "File:" at the start of remote names is stripped. - The pathname of local files is ignored.
Then we print the union of all local and remote filenames to stdout, each preceded by one of these prefixes:
remote: there is a remote file by this name; the name was either not given as a local filename, or such a local file does not exist.
local: there is a local file by this name, but no corresponding remote file.
neither: neither a remote file nor a local file exists by this name.
same: there are both a remote file and a local file by this name, and their SHA1 hashes match
differ: there are both a remote file and a local file by this name, but their SHA1 hashes do not match
If you need to pipe the output to another command, you can use
cut -d: -f2
to remove the prefixes. """ # # (C) Pywikibot team, 2022-2025 # # Distributed under the terms of the MIT license. # from __future__ import annotations
