Bug ID: 71398 Summary: Username case changes after site.data_repository Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: CommodoreFabianus@gmx.de Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

When the username starts in lowercase it's stored with that lowercase in the “_sites” map. A site requested via data_repository() is stored with an uppercase starting username.

...

...

import pywikibot s = pywikibot.Site('test', 'wikidata') pywikibot._sites

{'wikidata:test:xZise': Site("test", "wikidata")}

...

...

type(s)

<class 'pywikibot.site.APISite'>

...

...

d = s.data_repository() type(d)

<class 'pywikibot.site.DataSite'>

...

...

pywikibot._sites

{'wikidata:test:xZise': Site("test", "wikidata"), 'wikidata:test:XZise': DataSite("test", "wikidata")}

This doesn't make a difference usually, because it requests via the “original” lowercased name:

...

...

import pywikibot pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikipedia')

Site("en", "wikipedia")

...

...

pywikibot._sites

{'wikipedia:en:xZise': Site("en", "wikipedia")}

...

...

pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikipedia')

Site("en", "wikipedia")

...

...

pywikibot._sites

{'wikipedia:en:xZise': Site("en", "wikipedia")}
