Summary: Python 2.4 incompatibile at wikipedia.py
Initial Comment:
Hi,
I've been using pywikipediabot for maintenance of categories and geocoding etc at my wiki site for half a year.
Thanks for this nifty tool.
I'm using trunk HEAD of pywikipedia bot library for my own script.
I noticed several recent updates are incompatible for Python 2.4.
For example: my script stopped with the following error:
====
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "createpage.py", line 22, in ?
    import wikipedia as pywikibot
  File "/home/masao/cvswork/savemlak/../pywikipedia/wikipedia.py", line 4422
    % (len(pages), u'via API ' if site.has_api() and debug else u'', site))
                                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
===
Similar syntax error occurs at pywikibot/plural.py as well.
This error is caused by a new conditional expression introduced in Python 2.5.
cf. http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#pep-308
When I run my script under Python2.7, it works well.
If Python 2.4 is no longer supported, documentation is needed.
My running environment are as follows:
Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r9587, 2011/10/05, 06:06:07)
  Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep 21 2011, 19:55:41)
  [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-51)]
  config-settings:
  use_api = True
  use_api_login = True
  unicode test: ok
Best Regards,
Masao
