Cant delete pages #39

Closed tshrinivasan closed 8 years ago

tshrinivasan commented 8 years ago

When tried to use delete() method on a wiki page,

page.delete(pagename, reason="spam") getting the following error.

File "delete-pages.py", line 118, in delete_page(page_name) File "delete-pages.py", line 101, in delete_page page.delete(pagename, reason = "spam") TypeError: delete() got multiple values for keyword argument 'reason'

I tried giving various values for reason including True and False.

Getting same error.

Please guide me on how to delete the pages.

Thanks.

It was my mistake.

Have to use as

page.delete( reason = "spam")

It is working now.
