Changes since 1.1:
* Compatibility added for the new login method in MediaWiki 1.15.3 and higher.
See <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23076> for more details.
* Using the logout() function sets the correct version number in the user-agent
Changes since 1.0:
* Unicode bug in pagelist.listFromTitles fixed.
* Page objects now have an "unprefixedtitle" attribute with the title minus the namespace
prefix
* The page object sconstructor now accepts a "namespace" argument to set the namespace
based on a namespace index rather than the title
* The Page class now subclasses object
* maxlag can be ignored entirely by setting it to <0
* New function: User.isBlocked()
* The User.blocked attribute now has three possible values - None, False, True -
corresponding to unknown, not blocked, blocked. Previously False could mean
either unknown or not blocked.
* Wiki.login() now has a domain argument, used for wikis that have LDAP login
* File upload support has been added for action=import and action=upload, the poster
package <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/poster> is required for this
* Bug in APIRequest.changeParam() fixed
* New Page.getCategories() function to get a list of categories on a page, also
added a "categories" attribute to Page
* Cookiejar files are no longer world-readable by setting the umask to 0077 before
creating the file
* If the API is disabled, an APIDisabled exception will be raised instead of repeating the
request forever
* Added File.getHistory() function and File.history attribute to get file upload history
* Added File.upload() function to upload files and UploadError exception for errors
during uploading
* Added an APIListResult class for cases where the API result is only a list such as
action=opensearch
* Added a Namespace class to wiki.py. Namespace 'constants' are now added as attributes
to Wiki objects. The attributes use the canonical name, in the same style as MediaWiki -
NS_NAME. Namespace subclasses int, so they function as integers in every way, except
the OR operator ( | ) is overridden to produce a list of namespaces for use in an API query
* Page.__getSection now uses a better, non-hacky way to determine section numbers from section
names, and now works correctly on pages with transcluded sections
* Page.edit() now accepts the new "watchlist" option
* If logged in, the default User-Agent header now includes the username
Changes since 0.1.1:
* pagelist.listFromTitles() fixed
* automatic query-continue alogrithm improved
* performace of pagelist functions improved
* API query results now use the APIResult class, subclassing dict. HTTP response headers are
included in the results as .response member variable
* setNamespace() function added to Page class to allow changing the namespace of a Page object
* Title normalization improved
* API requests now print the actual exception info when retrying. If not retrying, the
exception is not caught. The ServerError exception has been removed.
* Added option to skip MD5 check when editing, as PHP's urldecoding fails in some corner cases
* Handling of sections in the Page class (particularly section 0) is improved
* Added some compatibility for read-restricted wikis. Not having read access previously caused
creating a Wiki object to fail as it tried to retrive the site info before login
* Handling of non-existent pages improved
* All modules imported when doing "import wikitools"
* Category.getAllMembers() can now be filtered by namespace by passing a list of
namespaces as the "namespaces" parameter
* File class (subclass of Page) added in wikifile.py (to avoid conflict with builtin file
objects) - includes functions to get file usage and download the file
* __str__ and __repr__ functions added for most objects to give useful string representations
* in-code documentation improved
* More functions now return some value, useful for debugging
* Broken Wiki.setUserAgent() function fixed
List of changes since 0.1 release:
* Make page existence and setPageInfo() checks more consistent.
* Use **kwargs in Page.edit() rather than dozen keyword arguments all False by default,
this is a breaking change for anything didn't explicitly use the keyword arguments
for some reason. If the first param isn't a keyword, its treated as "text" for partial BC,
arguments are now all the same as the API action=edit params, "newtext" and "basetime"
still work for BC
* Fix broken User.page
* APIRequest now makes a copy() of params rather than using it directly
* reduce calls to setPageInfo() by using the title if pageid isn't available
* Make redirect following less random on calls to setPageInfo in Page -
note that this removes the followRedir param from setPageInfo, replacing it with
a followRedir member variable
* set maxlag directly in the query params for temporary raises for login/siteinfo queries
rather than using setmaxlag(), which could reset it back to 5 if the user set it to 120
before logging in
* fix maxlag bug that changed it to 120 but didn't reset it back to 5
* rewrite most of __longQuery and improve resultCombine
* add missing module import in api.py
* use pickle for cookie files, add an option to login() to verify the cookies are correct
with isLoggedIn(), set to True by default
* fix User.isIP check - several non IPs were treated as IP addresses
* support reblock option for user blocks
* improve namespace guessing/title normalization, include namespace aliases,
add the namespace prefix to category objects if its not already there
