[Pywikipedia-l] commit r5020

[Nicolas Dumazet]

Hello pywikipedia-l :)

Just found that bizarre line, among the old r5020 commit (mostly some
unsignificant code cleanup)

Index: wikipedia.py

             # leading colon implies main namespace instead of the default
             if t.startswith(':'):
                 t = t[1:]
                self._namespace = 0
             else:
                 self._namespace = defaultNamespace

+            if not t:
+                raise Error(u"Invalid title '%s'" % title )
+
+            self._namespace = defaultNamespace


Since then, a Page object has always the defaultNamespace namespace
(!), which is what caught my attention.

However, what's that semicolon test two lines before ? If a title
starts by ':', it's in the main namespace ? I'm not quite sure of
this...
