Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Request for feedback on rewrite branch

Hi Russel, the main reason not to join to the rewrite branch is, I did not got it running yet. I get an importError for simplejson. And I have no idea seting PYTHONPATH playing with idle. Whereas the trunk is easy to use: install python, download the bot and expand it, run it. This is the usability I would expect. Most of the scripts are out of date since they are modified in trunk but not actualized at rewrite. I guess both forks have to be developed in parallel for a while until all (main) scripts are merged. I could supporting the rewrite development but since I could not test that stuff I wouldn't. However, I have reservations about the effect that the development for older mw versions are cut.

Your Bot tries to receive some pages through Special:Export and expect a </mediawiki>-tag on the bottom of the returned page. The method this message occured is _GetAll.run() of the _GetAll class. First check whether there is a special_page_limit defined in your user config. Try to decrease this value; try with a low value like special_page_limit = 20 (should be devidable by 4) and check whether this error occures again (and increase gradually if it works). You may try to debug this part reading the received data via idle editor. There is also an alternative to read these pages via API instead of this special page. You must use the -debug option to use it but be aware this is under construction and I've found that a lot of page titles given to the API are missed by its received data. This caused me to deactivate this feature again for now. xqt ----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Tom Hutchison <tjhutchy96(a)optonline.net> An: Pywikipedia discussion list <pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Datum: 01.09.2010 08:46 Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Need some help sorting out a couple of issues > Anyone have any ideas on why I am getting the "Received incomplete XML data" > error message? > > I ran some of the API links manually in my browser, all the created XML > looks just fine.

Need some help sorting out a couple of issues
by Tom Hutchison 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

I need some help sorting out a couple of issues with pywikipedia. Everything is on an XP machine. Python 2.7, with the latest build of pywikipedia from 8/30/2010. From all appearances everything is correct. I can log in and run some scripts without a problem. I ran catall.py without any issues, changed categories on pages. However.....! For some reason I keep getting this error on many of the scripts, category.py, weblinkchecker.py, interwiki.py, etc "Received incomplete XML data" then the sleep count starts. I am at a loss as to what is happening. I can even edit with the GUI interface without a problem. Can someone help me? What am I missing? Tom
