Hi, I am thinking about starting to write a standard Python wrapper-interface thingy to the MediaWiki API. I thought I would write here first and see what people think and if anyone knows of any similar work done already (perhaps in pywikipediabot?).
The only relevant thing I found so far is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yurik/Query_API/User_Manual#Python The reason I am thinking of doing it because whenever I do serious API queries (like checking a day's worth of logs) I always use Python to manipulate whatever I get back, and also because the API generally only lets you get 500 items and I haven't found a good way to loop through the log items by timestamp, if you know what I mean. And so each time I do a query I just rewrite basically the same thing and I'm sick of it, and if I'm doing this maybe other people are too. So, thoughts? cheers, Brianna -- They've just been waiting in a mountain for the right moment: http://modernthings.org/ _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
