Summary: replace.py has problem with "\n"
Initial Comment:
I have tried with:
replace.py -regex -cat:Dipinti_di_Kandinsky "[[[Cc]ategoria:[Dd]ipinti[ _]di[ _][Kk]andinsky]]" "[[Categoria:Dipinti di Kandinsky]]\n[[Categoria:Dipinti astratti]]" -summary:"Bot: Aggiungo categoria"
but the "\n" isn't converted into a new line... Bryan and valhallasw has said that it should work but it doesn't... can anyone check if the \n is converted properly? Thanx, Filnik

'\n' interpretation may be restored simply if replaceExcept() use the
previous code without positive lookahead and lookbehind workaround feature
when no positive lookahead and lookbehind is present. I think to an
'enable_positive_lookahead' flag, an automatic exclusion... Probably this
allow a speed improvement too, in addiction to limit others problems.

This should be fixed. You can now use \n inside the replacement when
you're using Windows.
Note that this isn't a fix for a PyWikipediaBot bug, but a workaround for
a Windows problem.

As I know, the windows console isn't able to take special characters like
newline or backslash as arguments.
So every time I need one of those characters, I enter them manually in
function doReplacements() of module replace.py.
For instance:
    def doReplacements(self, original_text):
        """
        Returns the text which is generated by applying all replacements
to the
        given text.
        """
        new_text = original_text
# dirty trick for special characters:
        self.replacements = []
        self.replacements.append( ('RegExp','Replacement') )
for old, new in self.replacements:
            new_text = wikipedia.replaceExcept(new_text, old, new,
['nowiki', 'comment', 'math', 'pre'], allowoverlap = self.allowoverlap)
        return new_text
Because this works, it cannot be a bug in replace.py.

It worked before, I used this several months ago (from my fixes.py):
(u'{{Taxobox_pradžia ?|
?(.*?)}}(\r\n|\n)({{Taxobox_begin_placement)', ur'{{Taxobox_pradžia |
\1}}\n{{Taxobox_paveiksliukas | image = | caption = }}\2\3')
And now it doesn't

In Linux, it is possible to just press enter to create a newline, as long
as the string is inside quoataion marks.

I don't know if that's possible in Windows. At least in the replacement
part, you cannot use the \n even in Linux.

Try using \r\n for newline
