Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dr. Trigon (drtrigon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Stability in wikipedia.py
Initial Comment: Recently I've had some problems with the stability of 'wikipedia.put(...)' sometimes this method had some issues and that killed my bot. I was able to track the problem down to 'wikipedia._getEditPage(...)' and following code (in 'wikipedia.py' around line 725):
******************************** while not textareaFound: text = self.site().getUrl(path, sysop = sysop)
if text.find("<title>Wiki does not exist</title>") != -1: raise NoSuchSite(u'Wiki %s does not exist yet' % self.site()) ********************************
and I have changed it that way, to hold my bot/script running:
******************************** while not textareaFound: try: text = self.site().getUrl(path, sysop = sysop) except: time.sleep(1) continue
if text.find("<title>Wiki does not exist</title>") != -1: raise NoSuchSite(u'Wiki %s does not exist yet' % self.site()) ********************************
and I am "pretty" sure that this solved my problem. :)
Probably you are also intressted in this solution?! I would assume that the delay of 1sec is neither critical nor needed.
Greetings DrTrigon

Message: Hello !
Are you able to elaborate on what error was raised? There is probably a nicer way to catch the error, at a lower level, instead of bluntly retrying on error =)
