Summary: replace.py appears to be broken with MW 1.15.5 on Ubuntu
Initial Comment:
On Ubuntu 10.04 and 8.04, when I try to run replace.py from the 2010-09-13 version in SVN:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/path/to/pywikipedia/pagegenerators.py", line 1225, in __iter__
    for page in self.wrapped_gen:
  File "/path/to/pywikipedia/pagegenerators.py", line 1157, in DuplicateFilterPageGenerator
    for page in generator:
  File "path/to/pywikipedia/pagegenerators.py", line 617, in AllpagesPageGenerator
    includeredirects=includeredirects):
  File "/path/to/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 6431, in allpages
    for p in data['query']['allpages']:
KeyError: 'query'
'query'
Replace.py works on an identical installation on a Mac using the same versions of Apache, PHP, and MySQL. This problem showed up when I upgraded to MW 1.15.5 from 1.15.4 on Ubuntu - no problems whatsoever on the Mac after the upgrade.
I would prefer to go to 1.16, but I am using an extension (SMWHalo) that does not yet work with that version.
Any ideas? The problem arises no matter what I put in the command line, but works just fine on the Mac. I can edit locally and upload to the Ubuntu installations, but this is not a viable long-term solution.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to learn Python to try to identify the error - but I do know that it pywikipediabot shouldn't completely break every time there is a minor upgrade to MediaWiki. It's great when it works, but when it doesn't, I find myself wishing for less fragile solution.
