Hi folks, I remember that a point the login process of compat was broken, and developers told they didn't bother any more to correct it. [1] I intensively used compat, because the new replace.py is not in the vicinity of my compat version. But last year there was a problem where all bots were forcedly logged out, and now I cannot use my bot. Has anything happened since [1]? Or can you give me any hint, how to begin to solve it on my own? -- Bináris

Hi Binaris, I remember there was an issue but I am not able to investigate into this matter. The compat branch is very outdated and does only support Python 2. My Python developing version is 3.9, the production system runs with 3.7 and for some reason I have also 3.5 installed which is the default environment on tools. The only way I can support you is to re-implement the missing functionality. Where is the lag in core? What are you missing?

Thank you, that was not quite the asnwer I hoped. I have many own extensions to replace.py, but I appreciate your effort, and I wll try to write a list with the standard features. Yes, this is the only reason I have Python 2. <info(a)gno.de> ezt írta (időpont: 2021. jún. 1., K, 19:57):

What error message are you getting? I patched that locally when it happened and I cannot reference a clean copy of compat any more. Knowing the error would let me narrow it down. On Tue, Jun 1, 2021 at 3:38 PM Bináris <wikiposta(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi John, I used a login2.py I am not sure it is my former experiment or an official script. With login.py it is Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login.py", line 480, in <module> main() File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login.py", line 475, in main loginMan.login() File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login.py", line 349, in login cookiedata = self.getCookie(api) File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login.py", line 263, in getCookie self.site._token[index] = data['login']['lgtoken'] + "+\\" KeyError: 'lgtoken' And with login2: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login2.py", line 496, in <module> main() File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login2.py", line 491, in main loginMan.login() File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login2.py", line 365, in login cookiedata = self.getCookie(api) File "C:\Pywikipediacompat\login2.py", line 213, in getCookie result = data['query']['tokens']['logintoken'] KeyError: 'tokens' NB login.py definitely gives this answer for the CORRECT password only.

Hi Binaris, login2.py wasn’t shipped with compat. The login implementation looks like MediaWiki 1.27 and the current one has changed a lot. Probably it does not work anymore with compat. Best xqt Von meinem iPhone gesendet

Hi, yes there is a manual about this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/compat-to-core_conversion The compat2core script was archived in meantime but it can still be used. It also can restored to the supported scripts. Pleas also use the task noted there for any help. Best xqt

Current release of Wikimedia cluster is 1.37.0.-wmf.7 and you should expect problems with old tokens soon if you still are using compat release. I have restored the compat2core script which can be used for the conversion. I propose to use both releases for your production system, compat and core. You can install also two Pythons and you can use the py launcher with windows to select which Python to be runned. Convert each script from compat to core step by step and do not hesitate ask (me) for any help. I did the same in past; now all my scripts are converted. Best xqt

Hi Binaris, btw compat is for Python 2 only. We also have a phab task (T242120) to support with this convention. There is a 2to3 tool shipped with Python 3 which can do some conversions automatically. But this tool is deprecated since 3.10 and will be removed as standard library tool. I guess the are some 3rd-party tools which must be used then. Best xqt

To convert my own replace.py is much easier than to add all features to community version. Now I have to return from far, far to understand the new concepts and being a developer again. Additionally, I failed to install Python 3.9 on my Win7, it requires >=8.1. No I am installing 3,7 and I hope it will be supported for a long time. -- Bináris
