You must see this! https://github.com/GreenSteam/pep257 Just run it on our codebase, it gives thousands of errors...

welcome.py and -break
by Ricordisamoa 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

It has been reported <https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciale:Diff/67448044> to me that core's welcome.py doesn't stop with the '-break' option enabled. Unfortunately, I have no past experience with it. Does it work for you?

Password
by Konstantinos Stampoulis 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Hi, I have used pywiki(pedia)bot for years and I had many bots running [from my machines (Ubuntu and Windows 7) and the toolserver: same behaviour]. Since many months (a year?) pywikibot *always* asks for password even if I have just logged in (with previous run of a script or login.py). That means that I cannot schedule bots with cron or run them with batch files etc. I did not have time to bother for bots running under schedule but it is time to see what can be done. So: how can I fix it?

flake8 and nose tests on new patches
by John Mark Vandenberg 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Thanks to many of you who have worked on the flake warnings over the last few months, the code base now has zero flakes, and thanks to hashar a 'flake8' job now votes against any changeset which has flakes. Also, nose tests are also run for every changeset before the code is merged, but only the tests which do not connect to a site, or have network activity. In the test files in tests/* , you will see some are subclasses of NoSiteTestCase , and some have net = True as class attributes. These clues help nose avoid tests which will connect to servers, possibly timing out, etc. Anyone can run the all tests using nose. https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ To run only the tests which are run by jenkins, even without a user-config.py file, use PYWIKIBOT2_NO_USER_CONFIG=1 nosetests -a "!site,!net" -- John Vandenberg

Standard argument parsing
by Amir Ladsgroup 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hello, pywikibot doesn't use standard arguments and argument parsing For example a standard input should be like this: python pwb.py replace "something" "something else" --page="python" --always or python pwb.py replace "something" "something else" --p "python" -a And in back-end, pywikibot uses sysargv for parsing args but it's discouraged and it's better to use argparse <https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html> . I made some changes in bot.py in function handlearg https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/156089 Still needs lots of work but before I go on I want your opinion about this change. Best -- Amir

Alternative Logo

I just made this for fun, to use as icon for my pywikibot local folder, and I though I would share it with you: http://fav.me/d7ve8j3 It took more time to get it uploaded somewhere than to actually create it…

dropping support for Python 2.6
by Ricordisamoa 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

py2.6 tests on Travis-CI are now allowed to fail, meaning that we are, actually, supporting only 2.7+. I renew my proposal to *drop* support for py2.6 at all.

i18n in Pywikibot
by Amir Ladsgroup 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hello, Yesterday after some talks in IRC we thought It would be good if we kill off the i18n submodule and bring the files into core, compat will have the i18n folder but won't receive any updates. One of major advantage of this action is making installation of pywikibot so much easier. Another thing that is happening for i18n is that we are migrating to json [1]. Any comment about these actions is very welcome. Best -- Amir

Re: [Pywikipedia-l] i18n in Pywikibot

I disagree with merging i18n to core and killing the submodule. Please mark compat as deprecated first. Installing problems often is a doc problem. With svn the externals are updated together with the compat/core framework. Git maybe needs additional steps. What about all the other externals? If there is a problem with i18n, there might be one with spelling, http and all the others too. xqt ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: Amir Ladsgroup Gesendet: 14.08.2014 15:03 An: Pywikipedia discussion list Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] i18n in Pywikibot I forgot to mention the patch: [1]: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/151114 On 8/14/14, Amir Ladsgroup <ladsgroup(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > Yesterday after some talks in IRC we thought It would be good if we > kill off the i18n submodule and bring the files into core, compat will > have the i18n folder but won't receive any updates.

Where are the commit message guidelines?
by Adrián Chaves Fernández 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Gerrit “Remember to follow the commit message guidelines.” (no link to those) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Development “Remember to follow the commit message guidelines.” (no link to those) So, where are they? I’m about to send a commit for review and I will most likely fail to conform with whatever guidelines/rules there are on commit messages.
