For me ist the biggest problem with rewrite (besides the encoding problem), that scripts are in one subdirectory, but calls libraries from another and this not work. I must copy script to root directory of rewrite and then I can work with tthem, but after update I must copy them again. So I use only calimit and harvest_template, the rest from trunk.
Rewrite works in different way - user-config.py is stored somewhere on Document_and:Setings\username\... which is not friendly - but only on win7, on winXP I have this file in root of rewrite :-O JAnD 2013/7/5 Hazard-SJ <[email protected]>: > Even I myself am starting to familiari[sz]e myself with rewrite (I've been > using trunk all along). > > Hazard-SJ > > ________________________________ > From: Dr. Trigon <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, July 4, 2013 8:59 AM > Subject: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Trunk or Rewrite > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > +1 > > Since xqt! is putting A LOT OF EFFORT into the project to finally > merge trunk with rewrite (at least the bot scripts), you should USE > REWRITE. > > The only reasons not to do so are: > - - you started using trunk already some while ago > - - you need a function implemented in trunk already and have no time to > port it to rewrite by yourself (and nobody else is willing to do so) > > Greetings and have fun with rewrite! > DrTrigon > > > On 22.06.2013 22:21, Merlijn van Deen wrote: >> On 21 June 2013 22:43, Chinmay Naik <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> For our bot, we will be having normal functions like >> creating/updating items, claims, sources etc.(the Trunk seems >> sufficient for these functions).
