Xqt created this task.
Xqt added a project: Pywikibot.
Restricted Application added subscribers: pywikibot-bugs-list, Aklapper.
TASK DESCRIPTION
**Feature summary**:
Enable parsing package versions which are provided by external source in
wrapper.py script which is the pwb code entry point target.
**Use case(s)**:
Toolforge for example uses packages provided by external source
(pywikibot/public_html/) and a PYTHONPATH links to it. The current parser uses
pkg_resources to compare installed packages but they have to be installed via
pip. But external sources can be detected as follows:
import mwparserfromhell as mwpfh
mwpfh.__version__
**Benefits**:
If packages are not installed via pip or older packages are installed, the
pkg_resources parser does not find it and the pwb code entry point cannot be
start a target script or a message is printed like
A package necessary for pywikibot is outdated.
Please update required module with:
pip install "mwparserfromhell>=0.6.3"
even if mwparserfromhell==0.6.3 can be used. To avoid such messages or to
avoid pwb code entry point denys running a script, a new/additional parser is
needed which checks the version of a reachable package
