Hi, I am a bot operator (zh:User:Makecat-bot) and want to run it on Labs, but strictly speaking, not a Toolserver user (none of my bot's task run on the Toolserver). It has several maintainance tasks on zh.wp plus interwikis on many projects. Would you please add me to the Bots project? Thank you. --Makecat (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Hercule, operator of HerculeBot. I run my bot from the Toolserver and I'd like to migrate it here. I mainly run Pywikipedia scripts (as template.py) and some few functionnalities on Java. If it's possible I think I'll create some Web tools in Java (later).

Please add me to this project. Thanks

log command on bots-4 (done)

I tried to log a message earlier today on bots-4 with /bin/log, yet it does not appear in the SAL. The log script did not raise an error. Is someone else having this issue too? --ireas (talk) 17:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Works now. That was probably a follow-up to the wiki / cookie / memcached problem. --ireas (talk) 17:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Pywikipediabot

Hello, all. I raised this on labs-l and got no responses; so, if no one objects here in the next couple of days, I'll just do it.... I propose to create a new project directory /data/project/pywikipedia, with two subdirectories: trunk and rewrite. Each of the subdirectories will be populated with an anonymous checkout of the current SVN version of Pywikipedia trunk and rewrite branches, respectively, and I'll set up a cron job to update them on a regular basis. These libraries will then be available to any bots in this project that want to use them. Comments? --russblau (talk) 22:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm interested, and I saw that this directory now exists (/data/project/pywikipedia). However, how are we supposed to use our own "user-*" files (user-config.py, user-fixes.py) ? Darkdadaah (talk) 16:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

says to use either -dir: or PYWIKIBOT_DIR to direct the script to the user-config.py location. But it does not seem to work correctly: the script asks me for the directory "families", and if I create a link to this directory, it asks me a "module named terminal_interface". Darkdadaah (talk) 16:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

I checked and it seems that, contrary to what the link above implies, it does not seem possible to use an external user-config.py file: . So right now it does not seem possible to use this common directory for several users (at least not without some dirty hack). Darkdadaah (talk) 16:56, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

We can share modules in rewrite branch. However, could you support compiled files(.pyo; )?-- ChongDae (talk) 06:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
