How to report a bug[edit]

When you report a bug, please try to include:

  • What Pywikibot version you are using. We recommend that you test if the bug is still present in phab:diffusion/PWBC/ the latest available revision, as stored in Git.
  • Python version (do python -V to check) and operating system you use (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac OS...).
  • A nice summary.
  • A full description of the problem/report.
    • Explain the difference between expected output and real output
  • How to reproduce the bug, with full information (script, command line, family, and language used).
  • The console output provided by the script (included the Python traceback if you are reporting a crash).

To submit a new bug, visit the bug tracker.

Development[edit]

If you have thought of a function you want to have, and none of the bots provides it yet, you can ask one of the programmers to write it for you. Or even better, you can try to work on the bots yourself. Python is a nice language, and not hard to learn. We will welcome you.

Commit access[edit]

Anyone can get Developer access. Once you've registered, if you're interested in working on pywikibot, please email the mailing list and introduce yourself and mention what you'd like to work on, so other people can greet you.
