We could go the SuSa route and call it the BACON window, for BAckports
and CONfigs

I think we need some shorter version to refer to this window. New name is
cool, but swat is shorter.

[Wikitech-l] [reminder] Pywikibot will end Python 2 support in July!

[Martin Urbanec]

As the last release of Python 2 is finally out, the July release of
Pywikibot is going to be the **last release that supports Python 2**.
Support of Python 3.4 and MediaWiki older than 1.19 is also going to be
dropped. After this release, Pywikibot is not going to receive any further
patches and bug fixes related to those Python and MediaWiki versions.
Functions and other stuff specific to Python 3.4, Python 2.x or MediaWiki
older than 1.19 will be removed.

For your convenience, this release is marked with a "python2"
git tag and it is also the last 3.0.x release. In case you really need it,
the Pywikibot team created /shared/pywikibot/core_python2 repository in
Toolforge and a python2-pywikibot package in software repositories of some
operating systems.

The Pywikibot team strongly recommends that you migrate your scripts from
Python 2 to Python 3. The migration steps were described in the previous
message, which can be found here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikibot/2020-January/009976.html
Detailed
plan of Python 2 deprecation with dates is described here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Compatibility

If you encounter any problems with the migration, you can always ask us
here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242120

Best regards,

Pywikibot team

[Wikitech-l] [Train] 1.35.0-wmf.36 status update

[Jeena Huneidi]

The 1.35.0-wmf.36 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0].

The new version can proceed no further until these issues are resolved:

* Undefined indexes: start and end in includes/TimedMediaHandler.php +392

 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T254824

Once these issues are resolved train can resume. If these issues are
resolved on a Friday the train will resume Monday.

Thank you for your help resolving these issues!

Thanks for all the work you folks do on Pywikibot, it's really a gem in the

I was literally just thinking of this! Glad to hear it, for exactly the
