I don't want the tutorial to alter the users machine, so my hope is to
allow every bot to be standalone, with no effect on the filesystem,
except for an svn/git checkout into a removeable subdir. For every
other language that's been easy, but pywikipediabot REALLY seems to
want the user-config and family files. What I have seem successful
enough, but perhaps its 1) needlessly overcomplicated or 2) too far
removed from pywikipediabot style. I was hoping for your feedback on
how you would write the example instead.
Hi Mike,
why dou you want to mix family file and user-config and the actual script function in one file? This is simply not the concept of Pywikibot. You will lose the flexibility of it. What is the advantage of making the script standalone? Btw. it is no more standalone at the point you import family.py and query.py. So why not use a proper family file?
