Hi, I was pointed here from #pywikipediabot on Freenode IRC. I am using
Pywikipediabot (trunk) revision 11781 under Ubuntu 12.04. I'm having no
success using the upload.py script. It keeps failing with the following
error message...
--
augur@ubuntu:/home/augur/pywikipedia# python
The file I'm trying to upload is the *.png thumbnail of the Pywikipediabot
logo from this page... http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Pwb_icon.svg
The thumbnail is called
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/Pwb_icon.svg/128px-Pwb_icon.svg.png
but I have shortened the filename,
can you run it in debugging mode? I mean add -v to the code:
python upload.py -family:tropical -keep -filename:Pwbicon.png -noverify
Pwbicon.png The Pywikipediabot icon -v
Best

I have done that now, and uploaded the results as a Gist on GitHub...

I have done that now, and the error message comes back exactly the same as
it did prior to this change. Lines 83 to 86 of my upload.py file are shown
below, after the change you suggested...
83 class UploadRobot:
84 def __init__(self, url, urlEncoding='utf-8', description=u'',
85
That worked perfectly, thank you Merlijn.
It was a bug on our end - we were incorrectly handling urls, which caused
python to try and interpret the image data as text. Not surprisingly, this
results in errors.
