Pywikipedians,

What is the best way to get the wikitext for every revision of a page?

I've been trying to understand why pywikipedia.fullVersionHistory does not keep going. It seems to do one or two or maybe three fetches of revCount=500 and then it stops --- even if there are many more revisions.

Is there a fix for this?

For example, for Barack_Obama, I get consistently 1393 revisions, and the most recent in that list is from 2006 !

Here's how I am calling it:

  h = p.fullVersionHistory(getAll=True, reverseOrder=True, revCount=500)

where 'p' is a Page instance.


Advice?


Thanks!


John
