Ping Re: https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Python_and_Wikimedia_bots_workshop_Oct_2013 Pinging bot interested folks on this session. We are happy to juggle the date to suit work and school diaries, so please do give feedback on the page if October is no good for you. This session applies to any Wikimedia project, so if you want to create an interesting weekly analysis of Wikipedia articles in multiple languages, fancy creating a super house-keeping bot for the Welsh Wiktionary or want to reliably upload and categorize 100,000 images to Commons without protests from the regulars, these are all good cases to discuss. Python gives you the (free) tools to pull in data from any internet source, so in the field of open knowledge these techniques are not limited to Wikimedia projects (I used the same methods to pull metadata from the Ministry of Defense API and the XenoCanto birdsong API). I know from past pub discussions that Roger always wanted to do some bot scripting, Andy could do with smarter ways of batch processing audio files and that Rich has and endless wealth of experience to share. Chip in on the registration page with your thoughts and suggestions.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] 26th October Python session in London
I'm currently doing Python all day long at work. It'd be a bit of a busman's holiday. So, maybe. ;) -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ On 25 September 2013 at 14:07:01, Fæ (fae...@gmail.com) wrote: Ping Re: https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Python_and_Wikimedia_bots_workshop_Oct_2013 Pinging bot interested folks on this session.
