Hi all,

I'm building a small pywikibot tool[1] which is designed to be installed via pip (and in turn installs Pywikibot via pip).

The tool uses the page.touch() function which is where I get a pywikibot.i18n.TranslationError when I run it.

page.touch() gets it's edit summary from i18n.twtranslate(self.site, 'pywikibot-touch') which in turn is defined in /scripts/i18n/pywikibot/. Unless I'm confused the Error occurs because the pip distribution does not include the /scripts folder or the i18n submodule.

So my first question is am I just doing something obviously wrong and the i18n submodule should have been available over pip as well?

If it's not just me then would it not make sense to have any i18n files necessary to the Pywikibot library to also be distributed via the same pip package? (i18n for scripts is another issue since for scripts you cannot use pip).

Cheers,

André / Lokal_Profil
