New subject: [Pywikipedia-l] [Rewrite] Cannot download http://gl.wiktionary.org/wiki/𐌰𐌽𐌳𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌰

28 Jul 2013

I have written the following script:

# -*- coding: utf-8  -*-

import pywikibot

site = pywikibot.Site("gl", "wiktionary")
page = pywikibot.Page(site, u"𐌰𐌽𐌳𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌰")
print page.get()

It fails with the following output:

[gallaecio@afonso fontes]$ python2 test.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
