Hi everyone,

After last nights mediawiki code update on all Wikimedia wiki's (see

http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/09/software-updates-wednesday-morning/

...

) all bots are broken. This is probably because Special:AllMessages was changed. See

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=2860410&...

...

for the bug.

Thanks, I was going mad to understand what's happening... :-(

Alex

Any idea about time needed to fix the bot block, please?

Looks like the bots are patched up for now, but we can't keep on patching up the trunk like this, it's time to start moving to the rewrite branch.

I can't understand details, but I followed the suggestions from #piwikipediabot and my bot is running again. :-)

This is largely sufficient for me!

I've found one more thing...

Inside of query.py there are lines for loading json or simplejson:

try:    #For Python 2.6 newer    import json except ImportError:    import simplejson as json

I am not using 2.6, but 2.5.4, but I have module json.

What module is this? A json module, under 2.5? Where did you get it?

However, there are two json.loads commands:

# This will also work, but all unicode strings will need to be converted from \u notation            # decodedObj = eval( jsontext )            if back_response:                return res, json.loads( jsontext )            else:                return json.loads( jsontext )

... and simplejson has it, but json doesn't. So, I've fixed my pywikipediabot by commenting try-except at the beginning and leaving just "import simplejson as json".

import json is meant for 2.6. In 2.6, json _has_ the loads method: http://docs.python.org/library/json.html#json.loads
