Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Ilmari Karonen (vyznev) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: API queries always using default site
Initial Comment: There's recently been some cases on Commons where BetacommandBot has unintentionally pulled a file from Wikipedia rather than from Commons when trying to do a rename: see discussion at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Stra...
I took a look at the code, and it seems a lot of methods in wikipedia.py (and maybe elsewhere, haven't checked) are calling query.GetData() without passing an explicit site parameter, causing query.py to use the default site given by default_code and default_family. Now, I'm no Python expert and not particularly familiar with pywikipedia, but this looks like it would cause problems whenever multiple sites are involved.
Adding something like "site = self.site()" to the query.GetData() calls ought to fix this, but someone also really ought to look over the code and see how deep this problem may go.
