Changes since 1.1.1: * Added getHistory and getHistoryGen functions to Page to get revision history/content * Support for HTTP Auth * Category.getAllMembersGen passes the namespace parameter correctly * generator queries with an empty result set don't get caught in an infinite loop * Added support for AssertEdit * Fixed equality checks for user objects * No longer breaks with Unicode namespace names * Files are reset to the beginning before upload * HTTP headers forced to be strings (Python 2.7 fix) * User object now includes user ID number * User.getTalkPage() added to easily get the Page object for a user's talk page * wiki.UserBlocked exception raised if trying to edit while blocked * Page, User, and Wiki objects now have hash functions * File object constructor takes a pageid argument to align it with Page * Fixed bug when trying to use pagelist to make a list of categories 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
