Core has one million advantages on compat but easy-installation is not one of them, a week ago I was trying to teach some bot operators to migrate to core and there were three main problems:
1- core suggests people to make the user-config in a .pywikibot folder and people don't like this and changing it isn't easy (for example if you want to set it as current folder, like compat, which is a common act because people use several accounts and they need several pywikibot folders with separated user-config and the system doesn't let you to make a file in existing director, try doing this) 2- people don't know what command is best for installation: python pwb.py python generate_user_files.py python setup.py install python ez_setup.py 3- There is an extra external needed (httplib2) and there is no documentation (in files) at all about them and how we can install them, I learned about them by experience and this command won't work: <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit> (my friend told me, I haven't checked it yet) git submodule update --init Helping to fix this would fix lots of user-friendliness issues Best On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 12:47 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Indeed documentation ist that part of code which coders does mostly > neglects. > Anyway there are some hints: > README.rst in core Folder > https://www.google.de/#q=pwb.py+site:mediawiki.org > > Seems our manual at mediawiki.org needs some cleanups.
