Keep Python up-to-date
Use a separate clean installation for development
Use master rather than stable
Use git, it is necessary for commiting
Take care of i18n
Update it before work
Git: mw:Gerrit/Tutorial

Code[szerkesztés]

Versions[szerkesztés]

Supported Python versions and planned deprications are important.
Supported MediaWiki versions are less important, unless I want to directly interact with API.
Source of information: mw:Manual:Pywikibot/Compatibility
Note that Python 3.9+ cannot be used on Windows 7 or earlier.

Styleguides[szerkesztés]

PEP 8 – Style Guide for Python Code
PEP 257 – Docstring Conventions
Function Annotations or Type Hints
MediaWiki conventions: mw:Manual:Coding conventions/Python (mw:Manual:Coding conventions in general)
Pywikibot-specific: mw:Manual:Pywikibot/Development/Guidelines

Documentation: the underlying markup is reStructuredText but sphinx is used to create the final documentation files.

Sphynx documentation: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/
reStructuredText https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html

Sample doc:

   .. seealso:: :api:`Logevents`

   .. note:: logevents with `logtype='block'` only logs user blocks
      whereas `site.blocks` iterates all blocks including IP ranges.

   :param logtype: only iterate entries of this type
       (see mediawiki api documentation for available types)
   :param user: only iterate entries that match this user name
   :param page: only iterate entries affecting this page
   :type page: pywikibot.Page or str
   :param namespace: namespace(s) to retrieve logevents from
   :type namespace: int or Namespace or an iterable of them
   :raises KeyError: the namespace identifier was not resolved
   :raises TypeError: the namespace identifier has an inappropriate
       type such as bool, or an iterable with more than one namespace

Tests[szerkesztés]

https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/tests_ref/index.html

Standing in core directory, in presence of i18n submodule (will fail without it):

python -m unittest discover -v -p "*_tests.py" – all, shortly
python -m unittest -v tests.api_tests tests.site_tests – two, detailed
python -m unittest -v tests.textlib_tests – one, detailed

I18n[szerkesztés]

Install/Update/use: mw:Manual:Pywikibot/i18n
mw:Localisation
translatewiki:Translating:pywikibot → Valhallasw coordinates the localisation of pywikibot and is the point of contact for all i18n issues; Siebrand takes care of the exports (localisation updates).
→ mw:Project:Pywikibot/i18n progress → Absolutely outdated, should be delinked from Translatewiki and archived.
mw:Manual:Pywikibot/i18n conversion (may be outdated)
