New page

Software should know with which site you are trying to operate. Usually, it is your default language and family inside of your user-config.py file:

<source lang="python">
mylang = 'en'
family = 'wikinews'
</source>

By defining object "site" (or whatever name you give to this object) bot will start to use this site:

<source lang="python">
site = getSite()
</source>

While it is usual that you are working with only one site, it will be better to always define used language and family:

<source lang="python">
language = "en"
family = "wikinews"
site = getSite(language,family)
</source>

Now, we have defined object "site" and we are ready to get our first page. To do so, we have to define object "page" (or whatever name you give to this object). Let's say that we want to get source of Main Page:

<source lang="python">
pagename = "Main Page"
page = Page(site,pagename)
pagetext = page.get()
</source>

And if you invoke "print pagetext", you will get [[wikinews:en:Main Page|Main Page of English Wikinews]]:
