wikitools -- Package for working with MediaWiki wikis

Requirements
------------

* Python 2.5+. Not compatible with Python 3; not tested on older versions
* Bob Ippolito's simplejson module, if using Python < 2.6
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson>
* To upload files or import XML, you need Chris AtLee's poster package
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/poster>
* The wiki this is used for should be running at least MediaWiki version 1.13 and have the API enabled.

Installation
------------

* Run "python setup.py install" or copy the wikitools directory
to an appropriate Python module directory.
* An exe installer for Windows is also available (should be run as an
administrator to avoid errors)
* An RPM for Linux is also available.
* Arch Linux users may use AUR package for their convenience:
<https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-wikitools/>

Available modules
-----------------

* api.py - Contains the APIRequest class, for doing queries directly,
see API examples below
* wiki.py - Contains the Wiki class, used for logging in to the site,
storing cookies, and storing basic site information
* page.py - Contains the Page class for dealing with individual pages
on the wiki. Can be used to get page info and text, as well as edit and
other actions if enabled on the wiki
* category.py - Category is a subclass of Page with extra functions for
working with categories
* wikifile.py - File is a subclass of Page with extra functions for
working with files - note that there may be some issues with shared
repositories, as the pages for files on shared repos technically don't
exist on the local wiki.
* user.py - Contains the User class for getting information about and
blocking/unblocking users
* pagelist.py - Contains several functions for getting a list of Page
objects from lists of titles, pageids, or API query results

Further documentation
---------------------
* https://code.google.com/p/python-wikitools/wiki/Documentation

Current limitations
-------------------

* Can only do what the API can do. On a site without the edit-API enabled
(disabled by default prior to MediaWiki 1.14), you cannot edit/delete/
protect pages, only retrieve information about them.
* May have issues with some non-ASCII characters. Most of these bugs
should be resolved, though full UTF-8 support is still a little flaky
* Usage on restricted-access (logged-out users can't read) wikis is
mostly untested

Quick start
-----------
# `wikitools3` — Package for working with MediaWiki wikis

## Requirements

* Python 3. Not compatible with Python 2. If you are using Python 2, use the original [`wikitools`](https://pypi.org/project/wikitools/) instead.
* `wikitools3` uses [`poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/) for dependency management. If you are installing via `pip`, you should not need to install `poetry` separately.
* To upload files or import XML, you need Chris AtLee's [`poster3`](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/poster3) package. This should be automatically installed by `pip` and/or `poetry` when you install `wikitools3`.
* The MediaWiki instance you are working with should be version 1.13 or later and have the API enabled.

## Installation

* Run `pip install wikitools3`. This is the preferred installation method.
* Alternately, download the source repository and run `poetry install` within the `wikitools3` directory or copy the `wikitools3/wikitools3` subdirectory directly into the top-level directory of your project.

## Available modules

* `api.py` - Contains the `APIRequest` class, for doing queries directly, see API examples below
* `wiki.py` - Contains the `Wiki` class, used for logging in to the site, storing cookies, and storing basic site information
* `page.py` - Contains the `Page` class for dealing with individual pages on the wiki. Can be used to get page info and text, as well as edit and other actions if enabled on the wiki
* `category.py` - `Category` is a subclass of `Page` with extra functions for working with categories
* `wikifile.py` - `File` is a subclass of `Page` with extra functions for working with files - note that there may be some issues with shared repositories, as the pages for files on shared repos technically don't exist on the local wiki.
* `user.py` - Contains the `User` class for getting information about and blocking/unblocking users
* `pagelist.py` - Contains several functions for getting a list of `Page` objects from lists of titles, pageids, or API query results

## Further documentation

* See also: the legacy `wikitools` documentation at [Google Code](https://code.google.com/p/python-wikitools/wiki/Documentation).

## Current limitations

* Can only do what the API can do. On a site without the edit-API enabled (disabled by default prior to MediaWiki 1.14), you cannot edit/delete/protect pages, only retrieve information about them.
* May have issues with some non-ASCII characters. Most of these bugs should be resolved, though full UTF-8 support is still a little flaky.
* Usage on restricted-access (logged-out users can't read) wikis is mostly untested.
* `wikitools3` has not been tested beyond the needs of `wikiteam`. If functionality from `wikitools` for Python 2 works for you, but the same functionality does not work for you in `wikitools3`, please submit a bug report at [github.com/elsiehupp/wikitools3/issues](https://github.com/elsiehupp/wikitools3/issues).

For most normal usage, you may not have to do API queries yourself and can just
use the various classes. For example, to add a template to the top of all the
pages in namespace 0 in a category:
