I'm trying to set up both MediaWiki and PyWikipediaBot and am running into some teething problems.

My MW instance is installed (and appears to be functioning). I created an account named ProtegeBot and put it in the Bot group. I also created the following files:

$ cat user-config.py mylang = 'en' usernames['PrF']['en'] = u'ProtegeBot' family = 'PrF'

$ cat families/PrF_family.py # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import family

# Rich Morin's test wiki for SMI-related hacks.

class Family(family.Family): def __init__(self): family.Family.__init__(self)

self.name = 'PrF'

self.langs = { 'en': 'www.cfcl.com' }

self.namespaces[4] = { '_default': [u'ProtegeWiki', self.namespaces[4]['_default']], }

self.namespaces[5] = { '_default': [u'ProtegeWiki talk', self.namespaces[5]['_default']], }

self.content_id = "mainContent"

def RversionTab(self, code): return r'<li\s*><a href=".*?title=.*?&amp;action=history".*?>.*?</a></li>'

def version(self, code): return "1.13.1"

def scriptpath(self, code): return '/smi_xmw/mediawiki-1.13.1/index.php'

def apipath(self, code): raise NotImplementedError( "The PrF family does not support api.php")

I am able to log into the Wiki as ProtegeBot, using the password I set. However, when I try to run PyWikipediaBot, I get this error:

$ python upload.py -v $D/All_ProtegeLogo.gif Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process.

Help?

-r

P.S. I'm not sure about the difference between the "family" name and the "sitename", so I used PrF for both. LocalSettings.php sez:

$wgSitename = "PrF";
