Description

I have to use compat selflink.py because core's one doesn't support -xml option. Anyway (even using -page) it freezes trying saving any edit. Here's the traceback after a keyboard interrupt:

  File "selflink.py", line 306, in <module>
    main()
  File "selflink.py", line 301, in main
    bot.run()
  File "selflink.py", line 240, in run
    self.treat(page)
  File "selflink.py", line 222, in treat
    pywikibot.showDiff(oldText, text)
  File "/home/.../compat/pywikibot/support.py", line 161, in showDiff
    diff += lastline + '\n'
KeyboardInterrupt

Could you provide more context to how you encounter this? What is the command line you are using; which db dump are you using? etc.

I've tested it against last four pages-meta-current it.wiki's dumps. I eventually came to a simple workaround: commenting out "pywikibot.showDiff(oldText, text)".

Anyway I've made a deeper investigation and I found more compact's script don't work.
Here's portale.py:

It seems to be a problem with showDiff method in pywikibot/support.py relying upond std difflib.

Traceback (most recent call last):
