hopefully[edit]

Hopefully some people find this script useful. I made it because I needed an easy way to upload lots of images to one of my wikis. -Jonathan Kovaciny 21:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to say I've already found this quite useful! :) Blckdmnd99 05:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bug when uploading files with ' in the file name[edit]

When uploading files with apostrophes in the file name, it cuts off everything before the last apostrophe and uploads under the wrong name. For example, it uploaded a file named Bigleaf_Hydrangea_Hydrangea_macrophylla_'Tokyo_Delight'_Pink_3008px.jpg as "'_Pink_3008px.jpg". —Zachary talk 05:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Error when using this...[edit]

Getting an error when I attempt to run this: 

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: unexpected end of data

The command I'm using is: 

uploadmultiple.py -file:"Icon List.txt" -nodesc

Anyone know what's up? --DragoonWraith 17:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further tests have this error popping up no matter what I do - even if I use uploadmultiple -help! DragoonWraith 01:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

unicode error[edit]

C:\Users\t\Desktop\pywikipedia>Uploadmultiple.py
  File "C:\Users\t\Desktop\pywikipedia\Uploadmultiple.py", line 78

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe7 in position 0:
unexpected end of data


I fixed the error: 

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe7 in position 0:

By deleting all of the foreign language lines.

ImportError: No module named mediawiki_messages[edit]

Upload.py works for me, this script does not work though.

I was attempting to upload two images and got this error: 

C:\Users\t\Desktop\pywikipedia>Uploadmultiple.py
unicode test: triggers problem #3081100
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\t\Desktop\pywikipedia\Uploadmultiple.py", line 62, in <module>
    import wikipedia, config, mediawiki_messages
ImportError: No module named mediawiki_messages


pywikipedia.py/mediawiki_messages.py "Allows access to the MediaWiki messages, that's the label texts of the MediaWiki software in the current language"

Deleting mediawiki_messages reference

I deleted the two references to mediawiki_messages, but I also had to remove a good portion of the error message coding too. The script now runs smoothly:

But nothing actually happens on my wiki. no images are actually uploaded.

This Uploadmultiple.py script says :

This script is a combination of pagefromfile.py and upload.py by Andre Engles (2004).

Neither of these scripts (pagefromfile.py and upload.py) have the code mediawiki_messages in them.

Differences between lines:

Uploadmultiple:
import wikipedia, config, mediawiki_messages

Upload.py: (line 32-33)

import wikipedia as pywikibot
import config, query

Pagefromfile.py: (line 53-54)

import wikipedia as pywikibot
import config

moved mediawiki_messages.py error with mediawiki_msg[edit]

mediawiki_messages.py is in the pywikipedia/archive folder.

I suspect that it was once in the root pywikipedia/ folder, but was then moved. I moved:

pywikipedia/archive/mediawiki_messages.py

to the root folder

/pywikipedia.

Then received this error message:

Solution for ImportError: No module named mediawiki_messages[edit]

If you don't want to move around things in the bot installation directory, you can in Uploadmultiple.py replace the line 

import wikipedia, config, mediawiki_messages

with 

import wikipedia, config
import archive.mediawiki_messages as mediawiki_messages

Then add an empty file called __init__.py (exactly like this!) to the archive/ directory (e.g. using Unix touch) and the import will be able to find mediawiki_messages.py in there.

I'm getting that error when trying to run this script. I've applied all of the fixes above. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? 213.93.184.183 15:39, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer: Install Python 2.6.5
Long answer: upload.py doesn't work with Python 2.7.2 (ascii codec error), and Python 2.6.6+ and 2.7.0 fail at unicode test: triggers problem #3081100
Well... I didn't test 2.7.1... --79.147.182.17 01:13, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
