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

UnicodeDecodeError in 'pywikibot/comms/http.py'

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all! I got this error (from trunk): Traceback (most recent call last): File "../pywikipedia/subster.py", line 251, in subContent (substed_content, tags) = self.subTemplate(substed_content, item) File "../pywikipedia/subster.py", line 345, in subTemplate external_buffer = http.request(self.site, param['url'], no_hostname = True) File "../pywikipedia/pywikibot/comms/http.py", line 125, in request pywikibot.output(u'%s' %e) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 42: ordinal not in range(128) and was able to trace the code line 125 (http.py): pywikibot.output(u'%s' %e) back to "revision 7591 by alexsh, Wed Nov 4 13:22:17 2009 UTC" line 5508, please confer [1].

Does anybody experience the same? I think it is related to network timeouts (e.g. servers not reachable) and thus hard to reproduce...

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Request for feedback on rewrite branch
by info＠gno.de 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

I was working on the rewrite branch last week (implementing xmlreader, additional retrieving of special pages, hooking cosmetic_changes with new functionality and some other stuff) At least I am a bit frustrated: I guess nobody uses it as I found some blocker in the code and mainly it runs very very slow. The time consumption is more than 10 times of the trunk release. Maybe the cacherequest is still unfinished but I cannot follow the site request since -verbose gives no additional output about that. Is there another switch? As I am not able to keep both releases on the same level an merge it vice versa, I would like to ask the next steps and how to proceed in that manner. btw I created a matrix for python version / pwb release at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Overview. Because of the unicode bug (which is triggered by py 2.5/2.6/2.71) it is strictly recommended to use python 2.7.2 or 2.7.2 for the trunk. I guess that bug does not affect the rewrite. But we need 2.6 for some method decorators. And at last: thanks Merlijn for the pwb.py shortener. Regards xqt

how search for non-bot interlanguage link edits
by koltzenburg＠w4w.net 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

hi all, I'm seek interlanguage link edits that were undertaken by users who are no bots, these users for interlanguage link edits would usually be active before bots come in to do their work maybe it is a good path to look at the summaries of the first interwiki bot edits per entry and take what happened before that point in time? if yes, it should be great if anyone on this list could run such a search for me, am ready to provide details about what is needed, thanks & cheers, Claudia koltzenburg(a)w4w.net

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
