Web browser: --- Bug ID: 61310 Summary: version.py does not recognize SVN checkout Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: russblau@hotmail.com Mobile Platform: ---
The following block starts at line 48 of pywikibot/version.py:
_program_dir = _get_program_dir() if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(_program_dir, '.svn')): (tag, rev, date, hsh) = getversion_svn(_program_dir) else: (tag, rev, date, hsh) = getversion_git(_program_dir)
I ran this on a machine where I am still using the SVN mirror and haven't installed git. However, "os.path.join(_program_dir, '.svn')" does not suffice to locate my .svn directory, because I checked out the entire "core" project, including both trunk and branches. The ".svn" directory therefore is in the parent directory above _program_dir, not in _program_dir.
This causes my installation to be unable to import pywikibot.
