Diff in Rewrite Branch
by Matias 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi there !, Is in the rewrite branch a way of getting the wiki-text of a diff like using this link http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=37372500&oldid=32780367&diffonly=1?. I think it can be donned via the API with "prop=revisions" and a combination of parameters specially "rvdiffto". "Site" class has a "loadrevisions" method but has no "rvdiffto" implementation. Is there any other way to get just the diff from two versions?. Thanks !! Matias.

Botflag parameter in rewrite branch
by Nakor 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello, In pywikipedia there was a botflag parameter in page.put() that allowed a bot to make an edit without the botflag set. It looks like this parameter is not present in the pywikibot framework. Could the parameter be added there? Or maybe is there another method to achieve this? Thanks, N.

Access to the 'site' attribute in rewrite branch
by stanlekub 25 May '10

25 May '10

In rewrite's branch, the 'site' attribute of Link() objects is set to a property attribute, and thus accessible through Link.site, while for Page() objects it is a method and thus you get the site via Page.site(). This is quite inconsistent and, although not insuperable, adds some pitfalls when using the framework (eg when porting 'old' scripts, as some methods that used to yield Page() objects now yield Link() ones). Is there a possibility to homogenize this and help poor little coders like me ? :) My favorite would be to use @property on both, but it's one more step against backward compatibility. Thanks, stan. PS: I can work on a patch for this upon request, if needed.

Pywikibot (a.k.a. rewrite branch) python requirements
by Nakor 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hello, I was wondering about the python requirements for pywikibot. I tried to run a script on the toolserver (nightshade and wolsbane) and from the error messages I get there I understand that it requires python 2.6 (won't work with 2.5) and (at least) httplib2. Is this correct? Thanks, N.

Im looking to possibly start using the re-write branch but what do I need to be aware of during the conversion. I would rather not re-write all my code. John

interwiki.py not cooperating with featured.py
by Jon Harald Søby 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hi! I recently started using my bot again (after some time), and was delighted to discover that featured.py now places the {{Link FA|xx}} templates next to the interwiki link to that language instead of above all the interwikis (AFAIR that was not the case a few years ago). However, interwiki.py does not cooperate with this, and when it finds a {{Link FA|xx}} template in the interwiki section of a page, it moves it to above the interwikis. This, as you understand, voids the improved behaviour of featured.py. For example, see [1] vs [2]. Unfortunately I don't know enough python to fix this myself, but I would like to suggest that (1) interwiki.py, when it finds them, places the {{Link FA|xx}} templates next to the [[xx:Yyy]] links, like featured.py does, and that (2) featured.py places all {{Link FA|xx}} templates it finds next to their respective [[xx:Yyy]] links, and not just the one it is currently working on. (As you can see from [2] there are previous {{Link FA}} templates there as well, and the result after a few rounds of featured.py and then interwiki.py can be a bit messy, see [3].) It would also be good if featured.py would change the English names of the templates to the localized versions where they exist (e.g. Link FA -> Link UA and Link GA -> Link AA for Norwegian). I hope these requests aren't too difficult to fix; as I know very littel python I don't really know what it would take to fix them, unfortunately.

New -former in featured.py
by Manuel Taveras 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hello, first of all, thanks to Amir for allowing featured.py to remove featured templates, but, as you can see here <http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al_Capone&diff=prev&oldid=37144098> <http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A_Night_at_the_Opera&diff=prev&ol…> the bot doesn't remove the template, just do cosmetic changes. Can you give a look? --Manuelt15 _________________________________________________________________ Organiza y comparte tus documentos. Hotmail te da 25 GB para que sea más fácil.

Rewrite branch and the translate() function
by stanlekub 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I'm currently working on porting welcome.py to the rewrite branch, and I have a little question regarding the translate() function, which is quite heavily used by lots of scripts : In 'trunk', this function has some sort of hackish/dirty/magical way to determine if the dict passed to it is of the form {'family':'lang':'translation'} or simply {'lang':'translation'}, a feature(?) that is missing in the rewrite implementation. So, the question is, is this something that has been intentionally dropped and should be managed by the bot itself, or does it fit in the not_yet_implemented basket ? Thanks, stanlekub.
