1- The original goal... Configure Pywikipedia Bot to access lotro-wiki.com --
which runs MediaWiki, with Semantic extensions.
2- Secondary goal... update the OSX documentation.
3- A side issue -- OSX Server 10.8 now provides a standard distribution Wiki as
part of it's "canned" support. I have not yet activated it, but that will be
"the next step." ... but I have to learn how to do that also!!!
====
So far so good... Now I've gotten to the "fork in the road." (BTW, I should
mention that I'm not a Python programmer.)
The implication from everything I have read so far, is that I will need to
create a "Family" file to support this private wiki.
Q1 -- Assuming this is necessary ...(which is the first question... is a
"FAMIILY" and family file necessary at all when running against a private Wiki.
Reading the file families/README-family.txt" the first thing it suggests is to
run the script -- "generate_family_file.py". --- it fails consistently.
I have tried running that file with the following "user-config.py" files:
This first one was what I was using following my own generalization of the
parameters.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
family = 'mywiki'
mylang = 'en'
usernames['mywiki']['en'] = u'magill-bot'
use_api_login = True
> python generate_family_file.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate_family_file.py", line 36, in <module>
import config
File "/Users/magill/pywikipedia/config.py", line 606, in <module>
execfile(_filename)
File "./user-config.py", line 4, in <module>
usernames['mywiki']['en'] = u'magill-bot'
KeyError: 'mywiki'
=================================
Then tried more specifically -- mixed case
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
family = 'LOTRO-Wiki'
mylang = 'en'
usernames[LOTRO-Wikii']['en'] = u'magill-bot'
use_api_login = True
>python generate_family_file.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate_family_file.py", line 36, in <module>
import config
File "/Users/magill/pywikipedia/config.py", line 606, in <module>
execfile(_filename)
File "./user-config.py", line 4, in <module>
usernames['LOTRO-Wiki']['en'] = u'magill-bot'
KeyError: 'LOTRO-Wiki'
==============================
Then with the actual URL...
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
family = 'lotro-wiki.com'
mylang = 'en'
usernames[lotro-wikii.com']['en'] = u'magill-bot'
use_api_login = True
>python generate_family_file.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "generate_family_file.py", line 36, in <module>
import config
File "/Users/magill/pywikipedia/config.py", line 606, in <module>
execfile(_filename)
File "./user-config.py", line 4, in <module>
usernames['lotro-wiki.com']['en'] = u'magill-bot'
KeyError: 'lotro-wiki.com'
===========================================
So, either I have the syntax of the "user-config.py" file wrong... or the
script "generate_family_file.py" NEVER works for any undefined WIKI.
Q2 -- is there some magic (i.e. undocumented) incantation necessary to get
"generate_family_files.py" to work? Or is it simply a worthless script?
T.T.F.N.
