python styling (pep8/pyflakes)
by Antoine Musso 04 Nov '13

04 Nov '13

Hello there! At first, I am really happy to see the pywikipedia framework is still alive and very active. As you may have noticed, whenever a change is send to Gerrit that triggers Jenkins jobs that run the code style utilities pep8 and pyflakes. It seems your code is not passing the style checks so whenever they fail it is not going to prevent you from merging the code. I am not sure how your community likes pep8/pyflakes. But I think it would be nice to have the code repositories to pass those tests and enforce authors to follow them. You can still have some pep8 checks ignored such as the "line too long". The questions are: Is there any interest in making your repositories pep8 compliants? If so, is there anything I can do to help? :-] -- Antoine "hashar" Musso

This bug needs your attention: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52692 We have to discuss on components I suggest to add "Wikidata" components to the list. I suggest we remove some very old components too. Please discuss in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Migrating_to_bugzilla -- Amir

Missing namespaces in Wikisource family?
by Mpaa 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi. I pulled from git the compat version and I got these errors when trying to get pages from en, wikisource. Getting [[Category:Author pages linking to Wikipedia]] list... Getting 125 pages from wikisource:en... WARNING: Missing namespace in family file wikisource: namespace['en'][114] (it is set to 'Translation') WARNING: Missing namespace in family file wikisource: namespace['en'][115] (it is set to 'Translation talk') I guess these namespaces need to be added to wikisource_family.py BTW, I operate MpaaBot on en:WS based on pywikipediabot. I have some python knowledge (but I'm not a professional developer) and would be nice to contribute to this project in my spare time. Any advice on where/how one could help? If I am welcome, you could list areas where you need help, and I could pick what is more suitable for my knowledge level and interest. Bye Mpaa

Switch to HTTPS, implications for Pywikibot?
by Morten Wang 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

I noticed this message from a thread on wikitech-l and wikibots-l: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikibots-l/2013-August/000353.html Does this have any particular implications for pywikibot, or is it already using HTTPS? Cheers, Morten

Name of the project
by Amir Ladsgroup 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi, Name of this project is really confusing. sometimes we use pywikipedia, sometimes pywikibot, and sometimes more strange names like PyWikipediaBot: I think we have to move this page and all of the subpages to Pywikibot. As we used this name in the Git repository, new mailing lists, and so many other places https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PWB What do you think? Is there any objection or suggestion? Best -- Amir

Cruft in compat
by John 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

Ive been slowly getting more and more irritated by drtrigon's additions to the code. The final straw was when I just converted to Git and discovered that he is trying to run executables. This is bloatware plain and simple I have seen the number of externals go from 2 to 17. Most of these are probably for one or two pet programs that should never have been added to the project as they are niche programs. I would really like to see things streamlined and all of the cruft removed and get back to the nice library that we had.

Repo structure
by Dr. Trigon 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all As I was creating new repos, I did a look at [1]: pywikibot pywikibot/compat pywikibot/core pywikibot/externals pywikibot/externals/httplib2 pywikibot/i18n pywikibot/sf-export pywikibot/spelling [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/?filter=pywikibot So in my opinion WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO MESS UP THE CLEAN STRUCTURE here! At the moment everything is still ok - but we might have to write down some rules like e.g. external code belong to pywikibot/externals/... all other code is maintained by us. (By the way how is this supposed to work? *wonder*) I also requested a personal repo for me and my bot called pywikibot/bots/drtrigonbot I would strongly encourage or even force to use this or a similar repo structure in order to keep everything nice and clean. We just have to agree on something BEFORE we create a mess. The structure given in [2] is e.g. out-dated now and needs and update.

BeautifulSoup

Hello folks We had some discussions in the IRC channel about BS. There are so many problems about using BS in different systems. So many people don't want to run patch.exe and so many people are using servers for running bots and don't have permission to do that. My suggestion is using the old system (an internal folder as an external like i18n but I don't think we need to make another external) but if you think we can do something else I'll be glad to discuss Please keep in mind compatibility is one of the most important issues of PWB Best -- Amir
