Bug ID: 68645 Summary: pywikibot.ui.editText imports gui which does not exist in core 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: ---

If config.editor does not have a value, which is the default, pywikibot falls back to using an internal editor, and fails.

In pywikibot/editor.py TextEditor.edit(), pywikibot.ui.editText() is invoked.

Many scripts use TextEditor: replace.py selflink.py upload.py catall.py spamremove.py solve_disambiguation.py unlink.py blockpageschecker.py editarticle.py

The easiest way to show the problem is with the script editarticle.py

$ python pwb.py editarticle -family:wikipedia -lang:en -p "Test page" Could not load GUI modules: No module named gui Nothing changed

The module gui from compat was not ported to core. http://git.wikimedia.org/history/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/master/gui.py
