Description

PWB dropped support for Python2 in its master branch few weeks ago.
Many bots still rely on Python2, and the ones using latest version from /shared/pywikbiot/core have started to raise fatal errors few days ago.
A Python2 version of the lib was published at /data/project/pywikibot/public_html/core_python2

To give easy access to this version for bot owners, please create /shared/pywikibot/core_old_python2 -> /data/project/pywikibot/public_html/core_python2 simlink, and update README file.

For record, here are current pywikibot symlinks:

tools.framabot@tools-sgebastion-08:~$ ls -lah /shared/pywikibot

drwxr-xr-x  2 tools.pywikibot tools.pywikibot 4.0K May 11  2019 .

No, it didn't

Really? Could you create a task for it? This should still be investigated as Pywikibot still supports Python 2!

I've created T245318: APIErrors for maxlag parameter higher than 9 starting February 12 regarding Python 2 errors.

But whatever the outcome of this other task, I think the current is still interesting to solve (create symlink on toolforge FS). @zhuyifei1999 What do you think?

Sure it is! But core_old_python2 seems too long to me

I think too long is fine because it will soon be unsupported. Annoyance is sometimes a good thing :)

In any case, you have write access to that directory right?

Doesn't we have core_python2 already?

https://github.com/pywikibot/Pywikibot-nightly-creator/commit/f97f3901fb79a13967b04896005b344ffc8a36a5 ?

So? Which name should we choose?

(idc)

Done! core_python2
