When submitting my code, should I also send my user_config.py file privately? Since I picked Wikidata as my default family of sites. When I write my script, I don't have to write:

site = pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikidata')

I can instead just write:

site = pywikibot.Site()

and by default it chooses wikidata. This might cause some inconsistencies when sending my script to someone else.

It's generally better to write code that is stand-alone and others can run, so in this case it's worth including '('en', 'wikidata')' in the main script, even if it's not strictly needed for you to run it. You shouldn't normally share your user config file.

Ok, yeah, was just making sure. Thanks.

Load a Wikidata item (use 'Q4115189' to start with - it is the sandbox), and print out information from it. You could also try loading some of the other items you looked at in the first task.

I printed out all of the information relating to the sandbox by looping through the item's data using

item.get()

and printing out every key value pair one-by-one, is this good enough or should I format my output more or maybe print out specific information?

That's fine for this task - the aim is to get the idea of how the data is stored and how you can retrieve it. But if you want to format it more, please do so. :)

Ok, thanks for the clarification!

@Mike_Peel I am getting an error while configuring Pywikibot. It says:
python: can't open file 'pwb.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Please suggest how should I fix this.

Are you in the same directory as pywikibot or it is otherwise in the python path? You might need to change into the 'core' subdirectory.

I started with the core-stable directory and later switched to the Pywikibot directory where I tried to configure Pywikibot.

I think you need to be in 'core' to run that command, since that is where 'pwb.py' is located. I think you can then move the user script to a different directory afterwards and still be able to 'import pywikibot' though.

I did that. A new error popped up right now. It asks me to pip install "requests>=2.20.1" and once I did that, it says: The system cannot find the file specified.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. Possibly it's related to T120222 . Could you start a new task for this via https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/ - and include the full set of steps and the OS versions you're using, please?

Can anyone tell me how to create a new page under my username in wikidata? like user:naznin haque/outreachy_2 ?

Enter that URL into the address bar, go there, and you can then create the page.

@Mike_Peel Oh Thanks!! I finished the task 2. Please check it in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Naznin_Haque/outreachy_2

@Mike_Peel I tried to configure Pywikibot but I am facing some issues while doing so. Here is the screenshot of the commands I am running.

Please guide me on what must I do to fix this.

@AnkitaxPriya Would you once try to login through your username only i.e AnkitaxPriya. Meaning not keeping botname bot1 and setting password for it and see if your problem is resolving.

After you run this command: $ python pwb.py generate_user_files , you have to do below step manually by going inside the User Config File which was generated in this step.

this step --> usernames['wikidata']['wikidata'] = u'Your username' into the generated user-config.py file.

After this try to login with $ python pwb.py login command.

Hope it works.

@Srishti0gupta so we have to rename the user-config.py.sample file to user-config.py and then manually enter our username there?

Hello @AnkitaxPriya ~ When you run the script of "python pwb.py generate_user_files", it automatically creates a file with the name of user-config.py in the same directory. And as suggested in the description above, add the following line to the code in that file:

usernames['wikidata']['wikidata'] = u'Your username'

which in your case, should be:

usernames['wikidata']['wikidata'] = u'AnkitaxPriya'

Hope this helps :)

Thank you so much for the help @Srishti0gupta and @Nizz009. It worked!

Hello @Pushp24, this may be because of one of the following reasons:

1. You didn't login to your Wikidata account properly.
2. You might have entered a different username by mistake.
3. You are just mentioning the page "Outreachy_1" instead of the full link to your page.

BTW, it'd be more helpful if you could share the Python script you wrote. Not much is clear as of now.

Your page is User:Pushpanjali kumari/Outreachy 1

Can anyone point me to where I can find documentation for the reload function in line 15 of example.py? It seems to be causing the above error when I execute my code. My terminal defaults to UTF-8, so I could for the sake of the project just comment out the code I'm sure just to take a look at things. However, I've been through documentation for the imported modules and can't find anything, nor could I find the code defined in the script itself. Thanks

You actually don't need to do any of this if you're using Python 3. The example code is written in Python 2, where UTF-8 wasn't the standard, it is the standard in Python 3. Reload is not even a function in Python 3 either because it's unnecessary for most cases.

Hello @Fonyuy237 I was getting such an error because of the Python version I had on my local machine. The script didn't work on Python 3.8. Try installing the latest version of Python (preferably Python 3.9) and then run the scripts.

Hello @Fonyuy237! What's your OS configuration? I faced a problem with the login step on my linux system (pop-os) too, and after some research, the issue: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212723 helped me solve the problem.
