Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: yo.wiki incorrectly throws NoPage errors

Initial Comment: version.py results: Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r6044, Oct 29 2008, 20:12:04) Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]

Trying read a Yoruba wikipedia article always fails with NoPage error. It appear that yo.wiki is setup with a linefeed in the "History" tab text. The fix is to use a re.DOTALL flag when searching for the history page.

My patch:

def _getEditPage()

... # Find out if page actually exists. Only existing pages have a # version history tab. if self.site().family.RversionTab(self.site().language()): # In case a family does not have version history tabs, or in # another form RversionTab = re.compile(self.site().family.RversionTab(self.site().language()), re.DOTALL) else: RversionTab = re.compile(r'<li id="ca-history"><a href=".*?title=.*?&amp;action=history".*?>.*?</a></li>', re.DOTALL) matchVersionTab = RversionTab.search(text) if not matchVersionTab: raise NoPage(self.site(), self.aslink(forceInterwiki = True))

...
