KISS pywikipedia
by Alex Brollo 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

I admit that I've been very confused by svn shutdown, and migration to Gerrit; I see that difficult-to-understand talks pop out about problems and bugs about gerrit+pywikipedia, so I feel myself a little bit less stupid. Confusion has been enhanced by double version of pywikipedia and by renaming (WHY?) of two main branches of it. Can please be implemented a banal, simple mean (pip? other?) to keep pywikipedia routines aligned and running both on Tool Labs and windows and any other environment? A good, old KISS approach? Thanks. Alex brollo

Lua and pywikipedia
by Thomas Douillard 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hi, there is coders here. I think Wikimedia needs Lua coders, especially for tasks like creating code to build infoboxes, for example. This is an important piece of code in WIkidata and in Wikipedias. Pywikipedia has experiences of building APIs for Wikidata. Could we share those knowledge and coordinate the code projects ?

Solving fatal pywikibot bug in Windows
by Amir Ladsgroup 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hello all, As you may know due to bug 61846<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61846>, It is impossible to run pywikibot in Windows It was because git version control system doesn't work properly in systems that git isn't installed (obviously) and decrypting txt files in .git folder isn't our job I tried to solve by logging commits in a text fie in here<http://tools.wmflabs.org/pywikibot/gitlog.txt>and when it can't be determined, the bot retrieves this file, finds out what is the version and adds it to cache. It's the patch and It hasn't been merged yet because we need to check it and review it very carefully but sooner is better, So please help and test this patch in you environment. I tested it on my pc which uses windows (such a shame) and It worked correctly Best -- Amir

Can I get commit access on Gerrit?
by Ben McIlwain 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Can someone give me commit access on Gerrit, or if there's some more formal process I need to follow, can someone point me to that? I had commit access way back in the SVN days but I haven't had to deal with Gerrit until now. I ask because I have two outstanding fixes for pywikibot/compat that are live on Cydebot and would be beneficial to other bots. Thanks! (This sig matches what's on my user page on en-wiki for verification.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlM3m7EACgkQvCEYTv+mBWdAmQCghoJsiYQXS0yaL4/LFUJ9IHpH ujYAnRZQ+F12QDsK7c8p9ge4Vu5XkhCc =01pq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Zürich Hackathon and pywikibot
by Amir Ladsgroup 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hello all, Zürich Hackathon will be held in 9-11 May and It is a great opportunity to improve pywikibot, I want to have presentation about "how we can help pywikibot" and I want to discuss about bugs and reporting and wrangling them (prioritizing and categorizing them) how to make a patch in gerrit, etc. and about areas of development in pywikibot including better support of Wikibase/Wikidata, other new features (e.g. Flow) and network optimization for reducing pressure on WMF servers I probably can get the visa in time and if everything goes well I'll have it by 16 April but maybe I'll not make it (if my request got rejected by Swiss embassy which is not an uncommon thing) This is the topics page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hackathon_2014/Topics#How_to_hel… There are several things that we need to discuss: 1-In case I can't come, is there someone else who is willing to have this presentation? 2-if you'll come and you're interested please add your name there 3-if you think this presentation needs some changes and improve (surely it does), please comment here Best -- Amir

MySQLPageGenerator and Tool*
by Maarten Dammers 09 Mar '14

09 Mar '14

Hi, We currently have the "MySQLPageGenerator" to do database queries. It uses site.dbName() to figure out the name of the site, but we don't seem to have any system to figure out what database server to connect to. For example: * Dutch Wikipedia on Toolserver: connect nlwiki_p nlwiki-p.db * English Wikipedia on Toolserver: connect enwiki_p enwiki-p.db * Dutch Wikipedia on Toollabs: connect nlwiki_p nlwiki.labsdb * English Wikipedia on Toollabs: connect nlwiki_p nlwiki.labsdb How to solve this? Possible solution is to make a function to detect what cluster we're on or a user variable to set it (config.cluster?) and than add a function site.dbServer() to return the right server?
