New page

Your bot should be logged in to the particular project.

If you don't have a bot account on some project, open it. On bot's user page state clearly that this is a bot account, that you are the owner of the bot and that bot will not do anything outside of getting pages and testing inside of its and your user space. Also, note that you will ask community for any other bot action. Such bot doesn't need a bot flag. However, be careful with contamination of Recent changes. This means that you shouldn't have more then, let's say, 10 edits per day on some bigger project, which means that you ''should'' use some bigger project for learning.

Go into the directory "pywikipedia":

<source lang="bash">
$ cd pywikipedia/
</source>

Make file "user-config.py" by using your favorite editor ([[w:emacs|emacs]], [[w:vim (text editor)|vim]], [[w:Joe's Own Editor|joe]], [[w:nano (text editor)|nano]]...). It should contain something like:

<source lang="python">
mylang = 'en'
family = 'wikinews'
usernames['wikinews']['en'] = 'My Bot Name'
usernames['wikinews']['pl'] = 'My Bot Name'
usernames['wikinews']['sr'] = 'My Bot Name II' # you may use different names
</source>

By invoking "login.py" program...

<source lang="bash">
$ python login.py
</source>

... you will get a prompt for inserting your password...

<pre>
Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process.
Password for user My Bot Name on wikinews:en:
</pre>

... and, if everything is good, program will give to you a message like:

<pre>
Logging in to wikinews:en as My Bot Name
Should be logged in now
</pre>

However, if you have more then one account (like it was described) and you have one password for all bots (which is little bit less safe, but much more practical), you should use options "-all" and "-pass":

<pre>
millosh@Malatesta:~/wikinews/pywikipedia$ python login.py -all -pass
Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process.
Password for all accounts:
Logging in to wikinews:sr as My Bot Name II
Should be logged in now
Logging in to wikinews:en as My Bot Name
Should be logged in now
Logging in to wikinews:pl as My Bot Name
Should be logged in now
millosh@Malatesta:~/wikinews/pywikipedia$
</pre>
