I agree, 100%. But I did not want to include yet-another bastard-hackish API method in our trunk/; and there was a bug report since the absence of this feature was causing interwiki.py bugs... :/ That's why I included this, even if it's unsatisfactory. But yes, in the perfect world, we'd all be running API-rewritten code ;) Actually, if you ask, I would be in favor of "freezing" trunk, to force us to work on the rewrite branch. No more bugfixes or new features until the release of the rewrite branch? :p -- Nicolas Dumazet — NicDumZ [ nɪk.d̪ymz ] _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l
