Bug ID: 68660 Summary: pagefromfile OS error when no parameters provided Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

pagefromfile should show help if an appropriate filename isnt specified. It defailts to dict.txt, and reports an OS error if it doesnt exist.

If the default filename 'dict.txt' is useful for the regular users of the script, the script should check whether it exists first, and show help if it doesnt exist.

$ python pwb.py pagefromfile.py -simulate Reading 'dict.txt'... [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'dict.txt'
