Replace.py should save -- please comment
by Bináris 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi! My old problem is that repalce.py can't write the pages to work on into a file on my disk. I have used a modificated version for years that does no changes but writes the title of the involved pages to a subpage on Wikipedia in automated mode, and then I can make the replacements from that page much more quickly than directly from dump or living Wikipedia. This is slow and generates a plenty of dummy edits. In other words, replace.py has a tool to get the titles from a file (-file) or from a wikipage (-links), but has no tool to generate this file. Now I am ready to rewrite it. This way we can start it and the bot will find all the possible articles to work on and save the titles without editing Wikipedia (and without artificial delay), meanwhile we can have the lunch or run a marathon or sleep. Then we make the replacements from this with -file. My idea is that replace.py should have two new parameters: -save writes the results into a new file instead of editing articles. It overwrites existing file without notice. -saveappend writes into a file or appends to the existing one. OR: -save writes and appends (primary mode) -savenew writes and overwrites The help is here: http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html#reading-and-writing-unicode-data So we have to import codecs. My script is: articles=codecs.open('cikkek.txt','a',encoding='utf-8') ... tutuzuzu=u'# %s\n' %page.aslink() <-- needs rewrite to the new syntax articles.write(unicode(tutuzuzu)) <-- needs further testing, if nicode() is really needed articles.flush() It works fine except '\n' is a unix-styled newline that has to be converted by lfcr.py in order to make it readable with notepad.exe. This is with constant filename, that should be developed to get from command line. Your opinions before I begin? -- Bináris

Whoo! Great work :-) Tests always are good contributions :-) On a sidenote - is there a reason you're implementing these in 'trunk' and not in 'rewrite'? Of course, these contributions are very welcome in the trunk, but I still think it would be good to push the rewrite branch.

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

Running the rewrite branch as developer/power-user [windows]
by Merlijn van Deen 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hello all, *As several people have mentioned they had trouble starting with the rewrite branch, I decided to do a step-by-step log of installing the rewrite in a way that is good for developing -- this means you are able to edit the framework files, while not inflicting any changes on other users (or other bots you run!) of the system. By using setup.py develop, edits you make to the framework will immediately be used (no need to setup.py install them), but only within the virtualenv.* *This is the windows version of my earlier email* * * I do not run python on windows, so this is a tutorial that starts with installing python. It's a bit rougher than the unix one, as I did not want to spend too much time on it. 1. Install python 2.7 http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.1/python-2.7.1.msi<http://python.org/download/> (do *not* use the 64-bit version, due to http://bugs.python.org/issue6792 ) 2. Install Setuptools http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#files 3. Install Virtualenv start/run: cmd c:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe virtualenv 4. create a virtualenv for pwb C:\Users\valhallasw>c:\Python27\Scripts\virtualenv.exe pywikibot New python executable in pywikibot\Scripts\python.exe Installing setuptools.....................done. 5. Go to C:\Users\valhallasw\pywikibot and use tortoisesvn to get the rewrite 6. create a shortcut to cmd /k c:\users\valhallasw\pywikibot\scripts\activate.bat with working path C:\Users\valhallasw\pywikibot\rewrite 7. Use the shortcut. You now have a new cmd.exe window 8. python setup.py develop Your default user directory is "C:\Users\valhallasw\AppData\Roaming\pywikibot" How to proceed? ([K]eep [c]hange) change, to c:\users\valhallasw\pywikibot\conf\ Answer 'y' to the warning prompt (not 'yes') Do you want to copy files: y [note: I copied my unix user-config.py to c:\users\valhallasw\pywikibot] Path to existing wikipedia.py? C:\Users\valhallasw\pywikibot NOTE: user-config.py already exists in the directory Create user-fixes.py file? ([y]es, [N]o) n (pywikibot) C:\Users\valhallasw\pywikibot\rewrite>echo SET PYWIKIBOT2_DIR=c:\users\valhallasw\pywikibot\conf>> ..\Scripts\activate.bat (DON'T put a space between f and >>!) Close the window, and 9. Use the shortcut from (7) again You should now have a cmd.exe with a working pywikibot setup! (pywikibot) C:\Users\valhallasw\pywikibot\rewrite\scripts>python touch.py Gebruiker:Valhallasw Retrieving 1 pages from wikipedia:nl. Page [[Gebruiker:Valhallasw]] saved NOTE: you *must* use 'python' in front of the script name, or python will not find the pywikibot directory. Good luck! Merlijn

Roman numbers
by Bináris 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

I wrote a piece of code that can transform numbers *to* and* from* Roman numbers from 1 to 999 (because they are regular in this range). Is anybody interested to put it in some core modul? Then I can make it a bit nicer. I saw them in date.py until XXX as a pure list. -- Bináris

Strange month names from Site.mediawiki_message
by Bináris 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Good morning! I collected month names at http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:Bin%C3%A1ris/Tartalomjegyz%C3%… as shown in archivebot.py. I need it for writing and testing the TOCbot<http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerkeszt%C5%91:Bin%C3%A1ris/TOCbot>, which has to recognize short and long month names in archive name patterns. The relevant part of my code is: * text += '<br>'.join([Site.mediawiki_message(MonthsS[i]) for i in range(12)]) + '\n|' text += '<br>'.join([Site.mediawiki_message(MonthsL[i]) for i in range(12)]) *for each Site in site.validLanguageLinks(). If there is any Dutch here, please check the *nl* row, because I saw that archivebot.py handles it in a specific way that I don't understand, and cannot check because of different locale. Now, some rows show irregular behavior which I don't understand. 1. In rows *ne* and *ti* a part of the short names seems to be native, and some of the short names English. (Apr, Oct in *ne* and from Jul to Dec in *ti*.) Is that perhaps a MediaWiki bug? 2. In the last row, *zu*, all the long names have a 'u' at the beginning, just as in Python Unicode strings. Is that correct or some misbehaviour? 3. In the row *ba* there are two short names (ғин, май) that don't fit in the line. Or is that the other ten? They are different and lower case, while the others upper case and identical to the long name. Is that a bug or a feature? If bug, is it in MediaWiki? 4. There are two rows, *ba* and *ky*, where there are alternative versions in parenthesis, the basic version being *almost* identical to Russian. Does it mean that any of the given versions may appear in that wiki as a month name? -- Bináris

Minor bug reports, please correct
by Bináris 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/archivebot.py… In archivebot.py, line 219 'may' should be 'may_long', according to Special:Allmessages. Now it is identical to the short month name in line 228. (In English, Polish and some other languages they are really the same, but a Hungarian will immediately see the difference. :-) http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/date.py?revis… In date.py, line 247, 'XXVIX' should be 'XXIX' (typo). In lines 892-894 'i.e.' should be 'i. e.' (with a space between them), and '0-ás' should be '0-s' (wrong Hungarian spelling). http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/I._e._0-s_%C3%A9vek exists, but redirects to "i. e. 1-es évek" (if that is a problem, correct it to 1-es instead of 0-s); the present one gives a search error: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1lis:Keres%C3%A9s/i.e.%200-%C3%A1s%2… Thanks, -- Bináris
