I wouldn't say that's really
necessary, all you have to do is run
generate_family_file.py and generate_user_files.py ... they are both
pretty simple and quick. It's actually considerably easier than when I
started using Pywikipedia, when you had to craft the family file by hand!
Yes. if
you do them in that order.... they work.
However, the Installation instructions tell you to run them in the reverse order;
consequently they do
not work -- because "generate_family_file.py" will fail if a
"user-config.py" file exists.
(Unless that has been changed in the past month.)
This is not true at all unless
you've just found a very very weird bug.
Generate_family_file.py works even if a user-config.py exists, and it
has been that way since the script was created. I've been using it since
it was first released, in all different versions.
