Dear all I have posted to this mailing list in January with a library that I wanted to contribute to the codebase. This is part of an effort on my side to refactor code that accumulated over various bot-operator tasks and make it available to the community. The main part of the code deals with spellchecking using hunspell (http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/) instead of the list-based approach currently used in spellcheck.py. The second part is an interactive robot to do revision control (Sichten) in the german wikipedia. There are some api functions that use the "undo" functions of the action=edit command and an api function that uses the action=review command. So I wanted to ask whether somebody had time to have a look at the code I submitted here http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3479070&group_id=93107&atid… (I uploaded a new file "(moved testSamples)" please us this to test, the other one seems corrupt and cannot be deleted any more as well). Thus, is there a code-review process that I can undergo or what do you suggest is the best way to get the code into trunk (if at all?). Would it be easier if I talked directly to one of you? What are the criteria to get SVN commit access -- I was just wondering what the general rules are. Greetings Hannes

Urlencoded section titles

by Bináris

Happy Monday, There are strange people who make such links (kindof urlencoded?): [[Második világháború#Partrasz.C3.A1ll.C3.A1s Szic.C3.ADli.C3.A1ban .28Huskey hadm.C5.B1velet.29|Huskey hadműveletben]] So the section title must have been copied from the URL. Do we have a ready tool to fix these? -- Bináris

Noisy interwiki.py

by Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W.

Running interwiki.py in the background produces infrequent but steady stream of beeps, which I can't figure out how to turn off. It seems like occasionally when program tries to display am non English character it beeps. The beep does not respond to computer's volume or mute control. I was looking for an option for less verbose output, but could not find one. Is there any other way to control it other than disabling motherboard speaker? I run interwiki.py from DOS command line in Windows XP. Jarosław Tuszyński, PhD. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) 703-516-7406 (Office) 571-245-5824 (BlackBerry)

Yes, no more chcp crap! Update to r10043 to feel the magic! (I have tested windows XP using python 2.5.4 and 2.7.2 and linux using python 2.7.1. Unicode command-line arguments are not supported (yet), as this requires reworking all sys.argv to pywikipedia-managed code. If stuff breaks, go back to r10042 and send an e-mail). Best, Merlijn

Recent changes, permission denied need patrol right

by Morten Wang

Hi, To keep part of SuggestBot's data updated I have a script that polls regularly (once an hour) and uses the site.recentchanges() method to get a time-limited list of the recent changes. Lately I have noticed that this script throws an error: raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"]) pywikibot.data.api.APIError: rcpermissiondenied: You need the patrol right to request the patrolled flag >From what I can tell by sending manual requests to en-WP's API, I don't get this error message if I'm logged in (as a regular user), but it pops up if I'm not logged in. SuggestBot should be logged in, as I make calls to pywikibot.getSite() and site.has_right() before I call site.recentchanges(). So it could seem like the problem is related to not being logged in. I'm not sure where to start debugging this, maybe it's not a pywikibot problem? Maybe it's only something I'm seeing? I'm running the latest revision of the rewrite branch, btw. Any input on where to start looking for clues would be great, thanks! Cheers, Morten

Flickrripper.py update

by Jenith

Hi I have found that when we upload the invalid license images throgh Flickrripper, currently the tool does not allow copyrighted images (great), but it does not show any message to the user like (invalid license). I have tweaked this adding the message, so that user can aware of why the image did not get upload. Please suggest and let me know whether I can update to SVN Regards, Jenith

Hidden categories

by Bináris

Hi, catlib.py tries to say if a category is hidden like this: hidden = re.search('__HIDDENCAT__', text) But many wikis have already templates for that. See the interwikis at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Hidden_category for Wikipedias. Shall we list these templates within catlib.py, or what is the process? Is that a similar task than handling disambig templates in solve_disambiguation.py? -- Bináris

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Proposal for farewell of good old Python 2.4

by info＠gno.de

Since we have plural support for i18n py2.4 is deprecated and does not fully support it except in a default way regarding to bug #3433609. Pre 2.5 releases cannot use plural.py and IMHO we shouldn't downgrade it (look at the code for the reason why). Maybe there is only this guy who is using that old stuff. I guess we should move a copy of the current 2.4 compatible release to the archive without further updates (and maybe make it available at pywikipedia nightly for downloading). 2.6 should be the new minimum version. But we have the unicode bug with all releases from 2.5 upto 2.7.1. This means 2.7.2 is the release which is strongly recommended I think. Regards xqt
