Hi folks, is there a piece of code in pywiki that determines easily if the current time zone is summer or winter time? (Last Sunday of March, 3 o'clock -- last Sunday of October, 2 o'clock) -- Bináris

In the EU, yes. In the rest of the world, not so much (the US uses different dates and the southern hemisphere obviously has DST in the /other/ part of the year). Depending on your actual question (why would you want to know when it's summer time or not? You probably want to convert times from the current timezone to UTC, or something ilike that)), you can try one of the following: pytz.timezone('Europe/Amsterdam').utcoffset(datetime.datetime.now()) or, if you're interested in the timezone offset on the current machine: time.timezone (which is 3600 or 7200 for Europe/Amsterdam) Merlijn

Thank you! I was not clear enough, I wrote these concrete dates because the bot would be huwiki-specific. -- Bináris

Thanks Merlijn van Deen for your reply. I have followed those instructions. But I cannot type in Gujarati in cmd. Everytime I have to type arguments in some other editor and then have to copy paste there, command prompt shows boxes instead of characters. And Bot edits with ?????. So, instead of gujarati text , it prints question marks. Thanks, Samkit. On 25-Dec-12 5:56 PM, Merlijn van Deen wrote:

Have you followed the instructions at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Windows ? (the 'full unicode output' section). As far as I know, you should then be able to use non-ansi characters in a command shell, also as command-line parameters.

Hi, I've had those problems on windows and I did not know about the solution suggested by Merlijn. I usually worked around that by reading the data from a file insead of the prompt. Cygwin might also be a solution if you're familiar with *nix but forced to work on Windows [1] Regards, Strainu [1] http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-locale.html 2012/12/25 samkit993(a)gmail.com <samkit993(a)gmail.com>

This is expected and OK - the command line has limited font capabilities, so, depending on the font used, some characters may show as boxes.

Thanks Merlijn, here is my output from command prompt after running version.py "Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r10802, 2012/12/16, 22:52:27) Python 2.7.3 |EPD_free 7.3-2 (32-bit)| (default, Apr 12 2012, 14:30:37) 500 32 bit (Intel)] config-settings: use_api = True use_api_login = True unicode test: ok" I have also attached screenshot of my user-config.py. -- Samkit On 26-Dec-12 3:56 PM, Merlijn van Deen wrote:

This, however, is not. Did you set transliteration_target = None in user-config.py? Unfortunately, I do not have pywikipedia on windows at the moment, so it's not easy for me to test the behavior. Which version are you running? (run python version.py and copy-paste the output).

Very strange - could you create a new file 'test.py' with the following contents and run 'python test.py'? import wikipedia wikipedia.output(u'\u03c2\u03b9\u03ba\u03b9\u03c0\u03b5\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1') Does this output a) ????ped?a, b) ςικιπεδια, or c) (yellow) sikipedia? With a very basic user-config.py (and with the console_encoding and transliteration_target set as in your file), I get a) with raster fonts and b) with truetype fonts... Best, Merlijn

OK, that is the expected output. If you set the font to Consolas, do you still get question marks in the output when running the bot? And if so, when does this happen (when you run which bot, with which commands?)

Could you mail the contents of your user-config.py file, as well as the complete command line for a command that gives you this error? That would make it possible for me to (hopefully) reproduce it locally. Best, Merlijn
