See in French : Bot
Bots can automate tasks and perform them much faster than humans. If you have a simple task which you need to perform lots of times (an example might be to add a template to all pages in a category with 1000 pages) then this is a task better suited to a bot than a human. Very nice site!
Very nice site!
Logging in
Your bot should be logged in to the particular project. Go into the directory "pywikipedia":
$ cd pywikipedia/
Make file "user-config.py" by using your favorite editor. It should contain something like:
mylang = 'en'
family = 'anarchopedia'
usernames['anarchopedia']['en'] = 'My Bot Name'
usernames['anarchopedia']['pl'] = 'My Bot Name'
usernames['anarchopedia']['sr'] = 'My Bot Name II' # you may use different names
By invoking "login.py" program...
$ python login.py
... you will get a prompt for inserting your password...
Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process. Password for user My Bot Name on wikinews:en:
... and, if everything is good, program will give to you a message like:
Logging in to anarchopedia:en as My Bot Name Should be logged in now
However, if you have more then one account (like it was described) and you have one password for all bots (which is little bit less safe, but much more practical), you should use options "-all" and "-pass":
python login.py -all -pass Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process. Password for all accounts: Logging in to anarchopedia:sr as My Bot Name II Should be logged in now Logging in to anarchopedia:en as My Bot Name Should be logged in now Logging in to anarchopedia:pl as My Bot Name Should be logged in now
Invoking Python
You may invoke scripts by typing "python" before them:
$ python mybot.py
