Bug ID: 71451 Summary: Site cache does not distinguish between classes 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: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
pywikibot has a cache of Site objects in the method pywikibot.Site. It uses a key of (family_name, site_code, username). If the site is a data repository, and first access of the site is via APISite.data_repository(), a DataSite object will be cached, and subsequent requests for an APISite will return a DataSite instead of an APISite.
DataSite is an APISite, but it has many methods marked as NotImplemented.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Set the user-config.py default site to ar.wikipedia 2. Instantiate a Wikidata client site object for ar.wikipedia 3. Request the Wikidata repo object 4. Instantiate a Wikidata repo site object for wikidata.wikidata
Expected results: The object returned from step 4 will be an APISite
Actual results: The object returned from step 4 will be a DataSite
