Hi Russel,
the main reason not to join to the rewrite branch is, I did not got it running yet. I get
an importError for simplejson. And I have no idea seting PYTHONPATH playing with idle.
Whereas the trunk is easy to use: install python, download the bot and expand it, run it.
This is the usability I would expect.
Most of the scripts are out of date since they are modified in trunk but not actualized at
rewrite. I guess both forks have to be developed in parallel for a while until all (main)
scripts are merged. I could supporting the rewrite development but since I could not test
that stuff I wouldn't.
However, I have reservations about the effect that the development for older mw versions
are cut.
Regards

Betreff: [Pywikipedia-l] Request for feedback on rewrite branch
I am at a point where it would be helpful to have some
feedback from other
Pywikipedia users about the future of the rewrite branch. As those who
watch the SVN commits know, I have not had as much time to work on this
lately, and have to prioritize what time I do spend on it.
For those who have used the rewrite branch, what (if anything) needs to be
done to it to get you to use it exclusively and retire the old wikipedia.py
system? What is missing? What is broken? What is present but could be
improved?
For those who have chosen not to use the rewrite branch, why not? What
might lead you to take another look?
And then, I'm sure there are many whose reaction to this post has been,
"What's the rewrite branch?" I don't know what to ask you, so feel
free to
move on to the next message.
Most critically, is there any reason to continue development of the trunk
once the rewrite branch is at a point where most users are ready to switch
to it?
-- Russ
