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: cosmetic changes Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Harriv (harriv) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: cosmetics_changes.py chokes on big article

Initial Comment: I tried to create list of 55000+ page category with category.py and cosmetic_changes enabled. Script seems to hang for a very long time. If cosmetic changes are disable, this doesn't occur.

Here's stack trace when CTRL-C is pressed:

Message: Doesn't stop means it also hangs or runs into infinite loop?

btw. You should not use python < 2.7.2 on mediawiki sites. Do not use it with cosmetic changes and on several sites where the unicode bug is affected. In general you shouldn't use interwiki.py or featured.py which are dealing with multiple language sites.

Message: Script doesn't stop if cosmetic changes are disabled.

My hosting provider is using Debian, and they have not yet updated Python..

Message: Oh and btw you should update your python to release 2.7.2/3 when you are working on several language sites due to unicode bug.
