Hi,

I ran:

python imagetransfer.py 'File:matplotlib_screenshot.png' -tofamily:lwiki

-tolang:en -family:commons -lang:commons

and received the output:

/var/www/localhost/htdocs/w/core /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w/core

---

0. Found image: [[File:Matplotlib screenshot.png]]

== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Information |Description ={{en|1=A screenshot showing [[:en:Matplotlib|Matplotlib]] plots of one 3D ''plot_surface'' graph and a polar bar graph resembling the Matplotlib logo together with the graphic's python source code opened in a text editor.}} |Source ={{own}} |Date =2014-05-01 |Author =[[User:Geek3|Geek3]] |Permission = |other_versions = }} == {{int:license-header}} == {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}} [[Category:Screenshots of software]] [[Category:Debian screenshots]] [[Category:Created with Matplotlib]] ============================================================ The image is already on Wikimedia Commons. /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w/core

Which I found confusing. I have InstantCommons enabled on my Wiki, if relevant. No File:Matplotlib_screenshot.png page or file exists on my Wiki (except for the mirror version of the page that exists due to InstantCommons). Transferring from the English Wikipedia (namely transferring File:Matplotlib_logo.svg) gives a different message (this one is an error message):

ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

(read timeout=30) WARNING: Waiting 5 seconds before retrying.

which was repeated until the last line became: "WARNING: Waiting 40 seconds before retrying". After this was the following error message:

We got the following warning(s): exists: File Matplotlib_Logo.svg already exists. Do you want to ignore? ([y]es, [N]o): n Upload aborted. /var/www/localhost/htdocs/w/core

But the transfer did occur successfully (i.e., File:Matplotlib_Logo.svg now exists).

Thanks for your time, Brenton
