Python wikipedia robot framework
Introduction
The Python Wikipedia Robot Framework is a collection of tools made to fit the maintenance need on Wikipedia, but it can also be used on other MediaWiki sites.
Getting the framework
There are three ways to get pywikipediabot, in order of preference: either get the latest version from SVN, get a 'nightly' or get a snapshot from sourceforge.
SVN
You can get the most recent version from svn; use the following commands on any *nix-like system:
svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia pywikipedia
On other systems, use the url http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia to get the latest revision. Alternatively, you can browse the repository from the viewvc web interface, but it is not advisable to update from the web interface.
Nightlies
Every night at 20:00 UTC a nightly snapshot from the repository is generated. You can get them from the wikimedia toolserver.
Snapshots
If you don't have a way to access SVN and the nightlies are not an option, you can use a snapshot, available from the sourceforge download page. The snapshots, however, are not frequently updated, and the nature of pywikipediabot and wikipedia is that you will often need updates. Consider using svn or nightlies!
