بوت البايثون هو مجموعة بريمجات لتشغيل البوت لعمل أشياء على ويكيبيديا أو أي ويكي تستخدم الميدياويكي. تام كتابته بواسطة العديد من الأشخاص بواسطة لغة البايثون.في هذه الصفحة، سنعطي التعليمات الرئيسية لأولئك الأشخاص الذي يرغبون باستخدامه.

الإعدادات الأولية

التحميل

لاستخدام بوت البايثون يجب عليك تحميل نسخة من حزمة البوت بالإضافة إلى النسخة 2.3 من بيئة البايثون أو أعلى.

Python is already present on some distributions of Unix, and need not be included then (although it might be necessary to update it if you have a very old version). In all other cases, it can be found at http://www.python.org/download/. Python can be run on all common platforms (Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows). Download and install Python.

The bot software itself can be found at Sourceforge where you can download it as a package, but this is often an outdated version. Nightly releases (daily generated packages) can be found at the toolserver. (See Current version below)

Once you have the bot software, all you have to do is download it to your computer, it does not need any further installation.

Current version

A much more up-to-date version can be retrieved via SVN. On Unix this is standard, for Windows TortoiseSVN is advised. Check out using the url http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/ .

Commands

To check out the bot via SVN command line use the following commands: $ svn checkout http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/ pywikipedia

Without the spell-checking files (saves a while): $ svn checkout --ignore-externals http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/ pywikipedia

In your current working directory (readable by command pwd or variable $PWD in Linux, Cygwin and others UNIX like environments) will created a new directory named 'pywikipedia'.

For non command line tools, the only information needed is the repository path: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/

Bot mailing list

It is probably a good idea to subscribe to the bot mailing list (see http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/Pywikipedia-l). Every time a file of the bot software is changed, a mail is sent to the list, so you know when you need to update to the new version.

Configuration

The bot framework only supports the "monobook" skin.

for Wikipedia

Open a text editor.

Type this line:

mylang = 'xx'

xx here is the code for the language code you are working on, "en" is English.

Save the text file as user-config.py, saving the text file in the folder with all of the other .py files you downloaded.

If you want to work with more than one language, choose the most common one, as you can override configurated value in command line by -lang parameter.

Your user-config.py file needs to specify the bot's username.

For example, if you want to work on the Swedish Wikipedia, and you have created a bot account with username "ExampleBot", add this line to user-config.py:

usernames['wikipedia']['sv'] = u'ExampleBot'

The 'u' in front of the username stands for Unicode. It is important if your username contains non-ASCII characters. If you are using ASCII characters only, you can remove the 'u' (if you have troubles loging in with your bot, otherwise you can leave the 'u' as is). If you are working on more than one wiki, you can also specify several usernames, e.g.

usernames['wikipedia']['de'] = u'BeispielBot'
usernames['wikipedia']['en'] = u'ExampleBot'
usernames['wiktionary']['de'] = u'BeispielBot'

Now save the file again.

Other wiki pages

Open notepad or another text editor.

Type this line:

mylang = 'xx'

xx here is the code for the language code you are working on, "en" is english.

Then type:

family = 'sitename'

where "sitename" is the name of the site you're working on.

Currently, this can be wiktionary, wikibooks, wikiquote, as well as some non-Wikimedia projects like wikitravel (the full list is found in the families folder).

If you work on Wikimedia Commons, specify commons both as language and as family:

mylang='commons'
family='commons'
usernames['commons']['commons']='UserBot' 

If your wiki is not listed in the families folder, create your own families .py file, see Pywikipedia bot on non-Wikimedia projects

Your user-config.py file needs to specify the bot's username.

For example, if you want to work on the English Memory Alpha, and you have created a bot account with username "ExampleBot", add this line to user-config.py:

usernames['memoryalpha']['en'] = u'ExampleBot'

So in summary the user-config.py file you create should have three lines, this is an example for memoryalpha:

mylang = 'en'
family = 'memoryalpha'
usernames['memoryalpha']['en'] = u'ExampleBot'

Save the text file as user-config.py, saving the text file in the folder with all of the other .py files you downloaded.

Make a quick shortcut to be able to run commands (Windows users)

If you're installing Pywikipediabot in a folder such as "My Documents" it may be troublesome to use the "cd" command to go into the folder all the time to run the bots (For those who don't get what that means, this will help you a lot).

On Windows you can create a shortcut which will open the command box you can use to run bots easily. Just follow these simple steps to create one:

1. Open up the folder pywikipedia is installed in, in a window.
2. Under File > New select Shortcut.
3. Type in "cmd.exe" and hit next.
4. You can give a name to the shortcut here, just "Pywikipediabot" is good.
5. In the address bar (The text bar above where your files are which tells you where you are) copy the path there.
6. Right click on the new shortcut and hit properties and paste that path you copied into the "Start in" text field.
7. Hit ok, and now you have a shortcut to open the command line to run bots from.

Permission on wiki

Make sure that your bot is approved by the community at the wiki you are going to use it. Strictness of this differs greatly between various projects; at some you need to announce it in advance and get approval before you start, at others you can do whatever you want.

Using your normal browser, create a login name and password for the bot. It is best to use a name that makes clear that it is a bot, and preferably also who is operating it. A common method is to use your own login name and add the word 'bot' to it, but several other forms also exist.

On the English Wikipedia, bots are only allowed to be used if they are approved at en:Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval.

Request a bot flag

If you heavily use a bot, it will clutter recent changes. To avoid that, you can get your bot registered as such. In that case it will not be shown on Recent changes unless a user specifically asks to get bots included.

This can be done by a Bureaucrat. You can put a request to get your or someone else's bot registered at Requests for bot status. You will probably be asked for some kind of evidence that your local community agrees with your bot. On the English language Wikipedia, requests should be made at Requests for approvals. It is probably good to get your bot registered whenever it will edit many pages in a single run.

Use

Select and run a bot script

Now we are ready to really start using the bot. You need to get to a textual interface to your Operating System.

On Windows this is done by opening the start menu, and clicking on 'Run'. You are asked to give the name of a program, type "cmd.exe".

• Change the root to C: by typing chdir C:\
• Type chdir \"name of the folder where python wikipediabot has been downloaded"

On the Mac, find Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities.

On Linux or any other Unix, use any terminal application such as gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, or simply the text-mode console.

First run the script login.py by typing "python login.py". It will ask for a password, use the password you used for the bot's login name. The bot can't work anonymously. Unless you change your password, you normally need to run this program only once, the bot usually does not get logged off.

Using the command cd, go to the directory where you saved the files of the robot. You can now run any of the bots here by typing "python botname.py" (If you are using Windows, you might leave out "python").

Now you can use one of the bot scripts.

Scripts

Here is a list of the existing bots with links to their descriptions:

	Main bot scripts		Other bot scripts		Auxiliary programs
	category.py imagetransfer.py interwiki.py redirect.py replace.py solve_disambiguation.py table2wiki.py template.py upload.py weblinkchecker.py wikipedia.py		catall.py copyright.py delete.py delinker.py editpage.py featured.py imageharvest.py movepages.py pagefromfile.py protect.py standardize_interwiki.py standardize_notes.py touch.py touchall.py warnfile.py welcome.py		login.py splitwarning.py test.py xmltest.py

Command-line arguments

Although many bot scripts have their own command line arguments, which should be documented on their respective pages (or in their source code), all bots unless specifically stated to the contrary recognize the following command line arguments:

-help

Print a list of global bot arguments (this list), followed by bot-specific help if available.

-lang:xx

Set the language of the wiki you want to work on to language code xx, overriding the configuration in user-config.py.

-family:xyz

Set the family of the wiki you want to work on, e.g., wikipedia, wiktionary, wikitravel, ... This will override the configuration in user-config.py.

-log

Enable the logfile. Logs will be stored in the logs subdirectory.

-log:xyz

Enable the logfile, using xyz as the filename.

-nolog

Disable the logfile (if it's enabled by default).

-putthrottle:nn

Set the minimum time (in seconds) the bot will wait between saving pages. The default value is zero.

For example, python scriptname.py -family:wiktionary will run the "scriptname" bot on wiktionary articles, overriding the default family setting in your user configuration.

Update

For further updates chdir into 'pywikipedia' and type

$ svn update

How to report a bug

When you report a bug please try to include:

• PyWikipediaBot version in use. It's recommended to test if the bug is still present in latest SVN revision available.
• Python version (python -V) and operating system you use (e.g. Windows, Linux, MacOS...)
• A nice summary
• Full description of the problem/report
• How to reproduce bug full information (script, command line, family, and language used)
• Output data

To submit a new bug visit the bug tracker provided by SourceForge.

Development

If you have a function you want to have a bot for that is not yet provided by one of the bots, you can ask one of the programmers to write it for you. Or even better, you can try to work on the bots yourself. Python is a nice language, and not hard to learn. We will welcome you.

Tips

Here and in this page, there are some very basic tips for getting started writing your own bot:

• be sure you've set up your user-config.py file (see above)
• To gain access to the pywikipedia framework, use:

import wikipedia

• to retrieve a page, use the following, where pageName is, e.g., "Wikipedia:Bots" or "India":

site = wikipedia.getSite()
page = wikipedia.Page(site, u"pageName")
text = page.get(get_redirect = True)

• to update a page, use:

page.put(u"newText", u"Edit comment")

• look at some of the pywikipedia files for other ideas -- replace.py is relatively easy to read even if you're new to pywikipedia.
• you can find all available Page methods in the wikipedia.py file.
• basic.py gives you a setup that can be used for many different bots, all you have to do is define the string editing on the page text.
• To iterate over a set of pages, see pagegenerators.py for some objects that return a set of pages. An example use of the CategoryPageGenerator that does something for each page in the Category:Living people category:

import catlib
import pagegenerators
site = wikipedia.getSite()
cat = catlib.Category(site,'Category:Living people')
gen = pagegenerators.CategorizedPageGenerator(cat)
for page in gen:
  #Do something with the page object, for example:
  text = page.get()

Contributing changes

If you changed the bot and want to send a patch to the maintainer,

1. Update to the current version (it will merge your changes with the improvements already committed to the SVN Repository),
2. Resolve any conflicts caused by the update (grep for "=====" ;-) and
3. Type:

$ svn diff > svn.diff

Review the diff to ensure it only includes the changes you want to contribute. The lines at the beginning starting with "?" should be removed.

If you are in direct contact with a Pywikipediabot developer, you can send the file svn.diff to him, but preferably attach the patch to a ticket in the Pywikipedia bug tracking system.

Multiple accounts

It is a common need to run python wikipedia bot under different accounts (main and/or multiple bot accounts). It can be done in two ways.

Separate pywikipedia distributions

One can install completely separate instances of pywikipedia in different directories (1 for each account) and have diferent user-config.py files in each of them. However, when updating the installation via SVN, one needs to run svn update on each folder separately. Also, every installation takes some disk space, which might be a problem on accounts with limited quota.

One pywikipedia distribution with symbolic links

Let's assume user foo has a current SVN working copy of pywikipedia in /home/foo/pywikipedia. For each of the accounts, he creates a separate directory:

foo@bar:~$ mkdir foobot
foo@bar:~$ cd foobot

Pywikipedia needs then some symlinks to the main code tree created in the working directory:

foo@bar:~/foobot$ ln -s ~/pywikipedia/families
foo@bar:~/foobot$ ln -s ~/pywikipedia/userinterfaces

Then, user-config.py for this account must be created as described in Configuration section above.

Finally, the bot must be logged in the usual way:

foo@bar:~/foobot$ python ~/pywikipedia/login.py

The working directory is ready. The scripts will however require a slight modification to run (the path to the pywikipedia tree must be added to Python's path).

import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.environ['HOME'] + '/pywikipedia')
import wikipedia

That's all. Updating to the newest version of pywikipedia on all account at once is now a matter of running svn update only in the ~/pywikipedia directory.

Bot & Proxy

There is probably (not tested!) draft workaround described here.
