[pywikibot] Re: Multiple users in user-config.py?

[Roy Smith]

Hmmm.

I was reading through that code earlier today, and I assumed I was just in the 
wrong place.  I got as far as:

>exec(compile(f.read(), _filename, 'exec'), _exec_globals)

and paused.  I had been wondering about how user-config.py was getting 
imported, since that's not a valid module name.  Now I know.  It's not 
imported.  It's executed.  That's, um, unexpected :-)

Please forgive me if I sound a bit negative here.  This is my first pywikibot 
project.  I've used mwclient quite a bit in the past, but it's really too low 
level, exposing too many details of the MediaWiki API.  It's also close to 
being abandonware, so for this project I decided it was time to give pywikibot 
a try.

What I'm finding with pywikibot is that the low-level stuff (Site, Page, etc) 
is mostly well designed and easy to work with.  The level of abstraction it 
presents seems just about right.  Exposing datetimes instead of raw mw 
timestamps is a win.  Another win is pwb's "total" parameter to limit query 
results, compared to mwclient's unintuitive "limit", which is almost certainly 
not what you want.  Those two things were what drove me to write my own 
mwclient wrapper library a couple of years ago.  Eventually I realized I was 
reinventing much of pywikibot, which was silly.

However, what I keep bumping up against is that there's excessively tight 
coupling between the library layer 
 and the 
command-line scripting layer.  I described one example of this in T326650 
.  This seems like a similar case.  
An API library really shouldn't know anything about command line flags.  Or 
config files.

A good model is the python library's logging module.  It provides the ability 
to read its config from a file, but there's a clean separation between that and 
the rest of the module.  If you don't want to use the config file, you can skip 
it entirely and build your config via whatever method is convenient to your 
application.  This really should work the same way.

Hi Roy,this is a global option which is handled by config.py directly by reading from sys.argv but does not remove it from that list.To remove it you can use the pwb.py wrapper like pwb  

[pywikibot] Re: Multiple users in user-config.py?

[Roy Smith]

I'm not using the bot.py driver, just calling pywikibot.Site() directly.  How 
do I make it read an alternate config file in that situation?

Hi,renaming the password cookie file is not a good idea after Pywikibot 8.0.0 was released because each account has its own file. [1]You may have different user config files which can be used with global -config option e.g. -config:mybot_config.

Creating a OauthLoginManager directly isn't working.

with PYWIKIBOT_NO_USER_CONFIG=1

gets me

I just got up to quickly wirite somewhere that we need separate
user-fixes.pys per user, best defined in config.py, and this mail waited me
here. :-)
So we should have per user configs.

An ugly workaround by that time what I did with logins: a Windows batch.
ren other.lwp temp.lwp
ren pywikibot.lwp other.lwp
ren temp.lwp pywikibot.lwp

If you start your scripts froma  batch (or Linux script), this is no extra
pain with user-config.py.
