Hello all, This is especially relevant for all interwiki bots on the toolserver. Do *not* use python 2.7 for those bots. There is a bug [1] in the unicode normalization that causes page titles to become mangled [2]. This, in turn, results in botwars [3]. As such, interwiki bots on wikipedia should use a python version that does not have this bug, which means using a version before 2.6.5. Although you will get a warning message when using a python version that exhibits this bug, the bot will still work. As such, you may very well cause bot wars if you start using py2.7. Best regards, Merlijn van Deen [1] http://bugs.python.org/issue10254 [2]
