Pywikibot code contribution
by Hannes Röst 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

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

I have just tried it and works fine and helps in testing a lot. Several scripts use their own mechanism for that with "-dry" or "-test" or something; we should revise these if they are still neccessary or may be removed. (As far as I understand -simulate works with API query. What happens if somebody uses the bot without API?) -- Bináris

Urlencoded section titles
by Bináris 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

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. 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

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)

rewrite or trunk?
by Morten Wang 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

I asked this question in another thread, and it might have been buried somehow: What's the take on trunk vs rewrite/2.0? When I started using PWB a couple of years ago (or thereabouts), I got the impression that rewrite was the preferred version to use. Should I consider switching back? Cheers, Morten

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
