upload.py under Windows 7: "No input filename given"
by Raimond Spekking 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

Hi, I try to run upload.py under Windows 7. Installed: Python 2.7 Pywikipediabot: Latest from SVN Executing this line from Windows PowerShell: c:\python27\python.exe D:\F_Programmierung\pywikipedia\upload.py -keep -log:upload.log -filename:"Kulturpreis der Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Rheinland 2011-5606.jpg" -noverify "D:\Eigene Bilder\WP Bilder\Kulturpreis der Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung Rheinland 2011-5606.jpg" "== {{int:filedesc}} ==......." results into "No input filename given". Same error if I simplify the line to c:\python27\python.exe D:\F_Programmierung\pywikipedia\upload.py -filename:xxx.jph .\xxx.jpg "...." Yes, the pathes are correct. Any ideas? Thanks. Raimond.

Is there interest in migration to Toolserver JIRA?
by Doug 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

I chatted with one or two regulars on IRC about the idea and there seemed to be some general support if someone else was willing to take the lead. Is there general interest in taking the initial steps for a migration to JIRA, setting up a project, etc.? Existing bugs could simply be linked from JIRA as new entries are made at the new location. Re-write is already (at least partly) there and we have a placeholder webpage on toolserver. We could also create some strategy/long term planning discussions there as well if we wanted to. If there's an interest, I can put some time into it. -Doug

Removing wrong iw
by Bináris 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

I remember there was some trick to tell the interwiki bots to remove the iw from other wikis instead of putting it back all the time, but what was that? -- Bináris

aslink deprecated
by Bináris 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Once pywiki claims at every processed item that aslink is deprecated, and title should be used instead, the description of Page object in wikipedia.py should be updated, too. aslink: currently in line 201, http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py?… -- Bináris

-exceptinsidetag:header - no longer working
by Chris Watkins 24 Dec '11

I have been using " -exceptinsidetag:header" with replace.py.

rewrite branch

Of course, these contributions are very welcome in the > trunk, but I still think it would be good to push the rewrite branch. I'm working off trunk because it is trunk. I'd assumed that the rewrite branch was a single-purpose branch to rewrite something, and that it would be merged back when it is stable. Is it stable? Is there any documentation on what the plans are for the rewrite branch? Is there a roadmap to finish it? Is see now that the rewrite branch has more unit tests, but more are needed. Is there a need to create a backwards compatibility layer? Or, is everyone except me using the rewrite branch? ;-) -- John Vandenberg

Command line parameter autocompletion
by Tisza Gergo 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Hi bot people, did anyone try creating command line autocompletion [1] for bot scripts? We are setting up a sort of toolserver for the bot owners on Hungarian Wikipedia, and trying to make it a comfortable environment, and parameter autocompletion would be a big step towards that. I'm interested both in quick and dirty hacks (my current plan is to grep out the arg.startswith parameters from the bot code and use them as a more or less correct argument list) and a long-term solution for making pywikipediabot parameter handling and help generation easy both for the bot programmer and the bot user. I'm thinking along the lines of defining a list of options, with a couple field for each options: short name, long name(s), help text, whether it takes an option (a bit like getopts in Linux, just with cleaner syntax). Some helper function would then process the command line based on that, and the bot programmer would just have to iterate trough the results, without all the ugly string manipulation that is currently required. This would have several advantages: - easier parameter handling and help text autogeneration - automatic generation of bash completion files - it could pave the way for moving towards a more linux-like command syntax with double dashes before long arguments and the other usual features - it would make it possible to create GUI controls for the bots, with auto-generated option fields What do you think about it? Am I overcomplicating, or reinventing the wheel, or is this worth doing? [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Programmable-Completi…
