Betreff: Re: [Pywikipedia-l] Deprecation of compat


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: (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

 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. We had some discussions 
about this theme few days ago.
