Deleted the API cache and the cookie file, still get the same error.  Making sure the site reloads the namespace info (by calling  site._getsiteinfo(force=True)) didn't help either.

It's line 1711 in site.py (method loadrevisions) that's throwing the exception, in case that wasn't already obvious.

Betreff: [Pywikipedia-l] Rewrite branch,issue with user pages in aliased namespace


Hi all,

I've run into an interesting issue on Portuguese Wikipedia, with a user page that's in the aliased user namespace:

import pywikibot;
site = pywikibot.getSite('pt');
page = pywikibot.Page(site, u"Usuário:Vitorvicentevalente");
page.title();
u'Usu\xe1rio(a):Vitorvicentevalente'
page.get()
[NOTE: callback trace removed for brevity]
pywikibot.exceptions.Error: loadrevisions: Query on [[pt:Usuário(a):Vitorvicentevalente]] returned data on 'Usuário:Vitorvicentevalente'

According to the API "Usuário" is a valid namespace alias[1].  Is there an easy workaround or fix here?

Also, I've noticed this is not an issue in trunk, it's just the rewrite branch that produces this error.

Morten
