Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: General Group: None

Status: Open

Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dmitry Nikitin (dmitrynikitin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: upload.py uploads an image several minutes

Initial Comment: upload.py uploads image to site (MediaWiki version 1.15.1 = latest official release) very long ... several minutes

I thinks that the reason is the latest changes in mediawiki and hence in pywikipedia. But 1.16 is not released and 1.15.1 remains latest official release of MediaWiki. Now the latest pywikipedia version doesn't work properly with the latest official release of MediaWiki.

python /export/wiki/pywikipedia/upload.py "Dubno_set070_k0.jpg" -keep -noverify "{{Cc|Александр}} [[Категория:Без Клейма]] [[Категория:Ровенская cерия]]"

Message: xqt, I tried without API and had the same problem. There was no difference with or without API. And yes ... request is still valid.

multichill, r7382 works fine. And it's may be considered as workaround, but ... I want to use the same pywikimedia installation for editing wikipedia.org and my own site on MediaWiki 1.15.1. Now I have to switch between latest version of pywikipedia for editing wikipedia and r7382 for editing my site.

Message: Could you try running r7382 of upload.py (version before the big change) and see how that one works?

It's awful to wait for 4 min while file uploading.
