Category: rewrite Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: NicDumZ — Nicolas Dumazet (nicdumz) Assigned to: Russell Blau (russblau) Summary: pywikibot.input before pywikibot.handleArgs Initial Comment: TestCase #2: import pywikibot goodbye = pywikibot.input('Hello ?') print 'read: ' + goodbye Result : goodbye read: goodbye $ Comment: Expected "Hello ?" input prompt is not printed TestCase #2 import pywikibot pywikibot.handleArgs() goodbye = pywikibot.input('Hello ?') print 'read: 'goodbye Result: Hello ? goodbye read: goodbye $ Comment: Works fine. This behavior is a bit surprising. Sometimes scripts won't use any arguments: no reason for .handleArgs() to be called... ever :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=263032…
