[Newbie] TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'scheme' #405

Open losershutin opened 3 years ago

losershutin commented 3 years ago

I'm completely new to using Python programs, so I might be doing something completely wrong. I have nothing else to add except my Command Prompt log. I'm using Windows, by the way.

What version of mwclient have you installed?

losershutin commented 3 years ago

What version of mwclient have you installed?

I have mwclient 0.6.5 installed.

That's ancient, released in 2011. You could test with different versions and let us know what works, or send a patch to support such ancient versions of the library, or use an older version of dumpgenerator.

I faced the same issue due to the deprecation of Python 2.7 in FreeBSD; the one I found was mwlib 0.9.3.

I got it working by modifying the end of the line starting def __init__ in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mwclient/client.py to end with scheme='https'): You may not have the same path to the file, but if you can find it, it might work for you.

If the scheme you have to use is actually http you may want to modify the line scheme = 'https' in def raw_call as well.

I also commented out from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1 because I couldn't be bothered to get all OAuth libraries and they did not seem to be required for a simple download.

Obviously, what nemobis suggests is better, but the above may be faster.

I could also remove this scheme "guessing" from master, but at the time it was the only way I managed to archive a few hundreds wikis which were on record with the wrong scheme. It might be unnecessary if someone improved checkalive.py instead, to make a list of API URLs in the correct scheme.

I've been trying to get this working with EditThis. mwclient only supports MediaWiki 1.16 and upwards in latest, while EditThis runs MediaWiki 1.15.

So, since the last mwclient that supports MediaWiki 1.15 was 0.6.5, released in 2011, I've been having trouble getting it to work with the latest dumpgenerator.

When was the scheme stuff implemented? @GreenReaper's solution does not work as 0.6.5 is much older than 0.9.3, so I'm curious what version of dumpgenerator I should be using with mwclient 0.6.5.

That's a different matter. We probably need to pin a previous version or avoid using mwclient if we can't use it any more for older wikis...
