Hello all,
This is especially relevant for all interwiki bots on the toolserver. Do *not* use python 2.7 for those bots.
There is a bug [1] in the unicode normalization that causes page titles to become mangled [2]. This, in turn, results in botwars [3]. As such, interwiki bots on wikipedia should use a python version that does not have this bug, which means using a version before 2.6.5.
Although you will get a warning message when using a python version that exhibits this bug, the bot will still work. As such, you may very well cause bot wars if you start using py2.7.
Best regards, Merlijn van Deen

Hi,
During the general maintenance on Dec 6th, we will change the default Python version (/usr/bin/python) on the Solaris user servers from 2.6 to 2.7. You may wish to test your tools with /usr/bin/python2.7 before then.

Hi folks,
there is py 2.7.1 running on toolserver and I found this version does not trigger unicode bug #3081100 whereas py 2.7.1 downloaded from www.python.org has still this bug. Are there any changes or fixes made on ts version?
Greetings xqt
