[Pywikipedia-l] Configuration Problems - pywikibot

10 Nov 2009


      I posted this yesterday about 15 hours ago and don't see it yet, so I'm
reposting:
I'm new to anything Python related.  I downloaded pywikimedia yesterday and
am trying to get this to work.
This is my dump from
api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces|namespacealiases|statistics

This is my current "lockwiki_family.py" file (I removed the commented out
lines):

When I go to login.py the screen flashes and closes within a second.
I did have
self.name = 'Locksmith Wiki Knowledge Base'        # REQUIRED;
replace with actual name
and
            self.namespaces[4] = {
            '_default': [u'Locksmith Wiki Knowledge Base',
self.namespaces[4]['_default']], # REQUIRED
        }
set as
self.name = 'lockwiki'        # REQUIRED; replace with actual name
and
            self.namespaces[4] = {
            '_default': [u'lockwiki', self.namespaces[4]['_default']], #
REQUIRED
        }
and that let me at least enter my password, but the screen closed so quickly
I couldn't read the several lines of type that flashed up shortly
afterwards.
What am I doing wrong here?
