@Soda: I just removed phetools from proofreadPage because it is not functional anyway.

I propose to remove all H23 test because they are for Python 2 I guess.

I am setting up a private wiki for test purposes and will investigate deeper in this matter.

I have a patch for this issue (and related problems I discovered after fixing the initial symptom to get -tofile working properly) which I intend to contribute (this is my first time so it may take me a minute to figure out how all this gerrit stuff works).

What a huge and great patch, thanks a lot. I'll try to review it soon.

Waiting for upstream.

The shell script is no longer used but the tests still fails. See the other issue T363651.

@Aram: nice idea but isn't welcome.py obsolete if this extension is installed on a site?

Reopened after patch revert due to T365942

Stalled until Pillow 10.4 is released in July.

The preleading PS gave me that hint

Using empty strings with PS

Try the follwing example invoking the Python command shell.

@Aram: I see, you are using Powershell to invoke the python command. I was able to reproduce the reported behavior with Powershell and it seems that PS ignores empty strings. Please use the cmd comand propt and it will work as expected.

What is the behaviour and the log with Python 3.12 without escaping?

Just an idea to circumvent this sys.argv problem is to use a preleading linespace but does not work if the template is in the first line on the page:

Does an escaping work:
python pwb.py -simulate replace -page:ئانیشک -site:wiktionary:ckb -regex "{{wikipedia}}\n?" \"\" -summary:"Replace test"

Really strange, the empty string is lost in sys.args. What is your Windows version?

@Aram: could you please run pwb version to get your version information. Are you able to adopt this patch? The replacement pairs should be printed then.

does the template make a difference here? It is not substituted (like {{subst:примечания}}), we just add {{примечания}} itself, its substance shouldn't affect the edit, as I understand. Please, feel free to correct me if I don't understand

@Rubin: I guess this is made by the {{примечания}} template wich adds this additional line; could you pleas check it?

@Aram: please run the following command for tests:

The regression was introduced with Pywikibot 8.1 (see above). Previous runs were 30 times faster for the first time and 300 times for the second. The patch above fastens up the second call but the api calls seems sequentiell instead of simultaneously which would be expected with concurrent.futures.

Hi @ericpien: I think preload_sites script is a good measurement. After collecting the siteinfo (and after Pywikibot 8.1 userinfo) the second call must much more faster. Thank you for your patch but I would suggest to use the already implemented CachedRequest to cache the userinfo which is already used for siteinfo. The advantage is that parallel running task will also benefit from it. At userinfo method the cached request can be implemented like

@JJMC89: better remove the other because T365230 is the blocker for the current task.

The design of Page.templates() as well as Page.itertemplates() are incluenced from compat version where only templates (ns 10) are given. That might be the reason why those both page methods do not support a namespaces parameter like pagetemplates do and the documentation also has only templates in mind: Return a list of/Iterate Page objects for templates used on this Page. Template parameters are ignored. This method only returns embedded templates, ...

I just noticed that replace.py script of pywikibot can't replace your pattern with null.

No it works with empty pattern like this but I guess there is somethin wrong with the generator. For example tr the following command
