Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Private: No Submitted By: NeuCeu (neuceu) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 'template' exception in wikipedia.replaceExcept() isn't good Initial Comment: Version: Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r7032, Jul 08 2009, 03:18:37) Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] Because of the 'template' exception, large part of a page text can be ignored. How to reproduce : run replace.py on fr.wiki with page "Slayers" and exeption 'template' python replace.py -exceptinsidetag:template -regex "([Aa])ncêtre" "\1ncêetre" -namespace:0 -page:"Slayers" It should normally find something to replace. Possible fix : If I remove (?s) in front of the 'template' regex, it works. IMHO I would replace the .* by [^}]* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2011-05-12 23:24 Message: see also bug #3158761 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=281929…
