New subject: [Pywikipedia-l] Getting started

20 Jun 2009


      Hello Mary,
the self.langs should contain the hostname 'localhost'. The path for the
wiki should be given in scriptpath. In your case, try something like
self.langs = {'en': 'localhost'}
def scriptpath(self, code):
    return '/default'
Hopefully that should work!
Best reagards,
Merlijn

I am not trying a simpler family setup file.  I am putting None in for
en:'None'.  Then adding:

Subject: [Pywikipedia-l] Getting started
I am trying to setup pywikipedia to work on my local wiki.  I have tried
to follow online steps plus steps within README-family.txt.
My test wiki is: http://localhost/default  (it is not live anywhere).
It seems like I am having trouble with this line within default_family.py
(my family file).
   self.langs = {                # REQUIRED
        'en': 'localhost/default',  # Include one line for each wiki

in family
                                      # in the format 'code': 'hostname',
        }
I have tried many different possibilities but have been unsuccessful.
Here is the message I receive with login.py:
login.py
