XZise added a comment. Well yesterday I've worked on porting it to `mwparserfromhell` after our Python 3 build failed because of `mwlib`. It's untested but should be pretty usable. But maybe the settings thing is better especially as it will allow patrolling user pages (currently the script would assume that it's a “key”).

XZise added a comment. 1. How would you use RESTBase <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RESTBase> (I guess that is what you are talking about?) 2. And would other wikis also need to use RESTBase so that they can use patrol.py?

XZise added a comment. I think there is a misunderstanding. As I understand it Parsoid is used to convert wikitext into HTML and back. But pywikibot works almost entirely on wikitext so there is no need for Parsoid (or RESTBase) to convert it into HTML. At the moment it is just reading the wikitext (and mwparserfromhell/mwlib are parsing that wikitext) and @jayvdb suggested that someone actually writes JSON content into the page (which would act like wikitext and can be parsed by Python without external libraries). Using HTML would have similar problems like mwpfh/mwlib as we'd need to parse the HTML which could in fact be more problematic.

Krenair added a comment. OK. Just making sure that was considered, assuming someone was still thinking about Parsoid :) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95142 REPLY HANDLER ACTIONS Reply to comment or attach files, or !close, !claim, !unsubscribe or !assign <username>.

jayvdb added a comment. Another reason to remove the dependency on mwlib: it has a nasty list of dependencies, which is both long and has some very restrictive version requirements: "pyparsing>=1.4.11,<1.6", "timelib>=0.2", "bottle>=0.10", "pyPdf>=1.12", "apipkg>=1.2", "qserve>=0.2.7", "lxml", "py>=1.4", "sqlite3dbm", "simplejson>=2.3", "roman", "gevent", "odfpy>=0.9, <0.10", "Pillow", "setuptools" https://github.com/pediapress/mwlib/blob/master/setup.py#L44 The worst aspect is that it requires "pyparsing>=1.4.11,<1.6", which prevents using the most recent version of pyparsing, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyparsing/2.0.3 The requirement for "odfpy>=0.9, <0.10" is not as bad, as the latest version is https://pypi.python.org/pypi/odfpy/0.9.6 TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95142 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: XZise, jayvdb Cc: Krenair, gerritbot, XZise, Ricordisamoa, jayvdb, Aklapper, pywikipedia-bugs
