Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Deprecation of compat

Core has one million advantages on compat but easy-installation is not one of them, a week ago I was trying to teach some bot operators to migrate to core and there were three main problems:

1- core suggests people to make the user-config in a .pywikibot folder

 and people don't like this and changing it isn't easy (for example if you want to set it as current folder, like compat, which is a common act because people use several accounts and they need several pywikibot folders with separated user-config and the system doesn't let you to make a file in existing director, try doing this)

2- people don't know what command is best for installation:

python pwb.py

python generate_user_files.py

python setup.py install
python ez_setup.py

3- There is an extra external needed (httplib2) and there is no documentation (in files) at all about them and how we can install them, I learned about them by experience and this command won't work: (my friend told me, I haven't checked it yet)

git submodule update --init
 

Helping to fix this would fix lots of user-friendliness issues

Indeed documentation ist that part of code which coders does mostly neglects.
Anyway there are some hints:
README.rst in core Folder
https://www.google.de/#q=pwb.py+site:mediawiki.org

Seems our manual at mediawiki.org needs some cleanups. We had some discussions about this theme few days ago.
