wikitools Description

Python package for interacting with a MediaWiki wiki wikitools Python module for interacting with a MediaWiki wiki using the MediaWiki API. Designed for MediaWiki version 1.14 and higher, should work on 1.13, older versions may have bugs. The edit-API must be enabled on the site to use editing features. This is still a beta release and may have bugs, especially when dealing with non-ASCII text. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · Make page existence and setPageInfo() checks more consistent. · Use **kwargs in Page.edit() rather than dozen keyword arguments all False by default, this is a breaking change for anything didn't explicitly use the keyword arguments for some reason. If the first param isn't a keyword, its treated as "text" for partial BC, arguments are now all the same as the API action=edit params, "newtext" and "basetime" still work for BC · Fix broken User.page · APIRequest now makes a copy() of params rather than using it directly · reduce calls to setPageInfo() by using the title if pageid isn't available · Make redirect following less random on calls to setPageInfo in Page - note that this removes the followRedir param from setPageInfo, replacing it with a followRedir member variable · set maxlag directly in the query params for temporary raises for login/siteinfo queries rather than using setmaxlag(), which could reset it back to 5 if the user set it to 120 before logging in · fix maxlag bug that changed it to 120 but didn't reset it back to 5 · rewrite most of __longQuery and improve resultCombine · add missing module import in api.py · use pickle for cookie files, add an option to login() to verify the cookies are correct with isLoggedIn(), set to True by default · fix User.isIP check - several non IPs were treated as IP addresses · support reblock option for user blocks · improve namespace guessing/title normalization, include namespace aliases, add the namespace prefix to category objects if its not already there
