In the long run, I am planning to a missive number of Chinese classic books. The bot will be responsible for that.

Though I have done some of these uploads on request, I believe it is much more useful to have a volunteer that can understand Chinese manage these sources and create meaningful image text pages. So it's great to see this bot request being made. --Fæ (talk) 08:34, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please make a few test uploads. --Krd 08:38, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is making them now: Special:Contributions/wmr-bot.--維基小霸王 (talk) 07:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't the images uploaded by the bot directly, with the correct descriptions? --Krd 08:04, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have not figured out how to use python function to run a pywikibot. There is also no instruction for doing so through command line on mw:Manual:Pywikibot/upload.py.-維基小霸王 (talk) 13:08, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's some old examples at https://github.com/faebug. --Fæ (talk) 13:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for providing the examples. I can write Python code but I want to ask shall I run it like "pwb.py reportWellcome.py"?--維基小霸王 (talk) 13:27, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the change from compat to core means that the command line looks like "python pwb.py <script name>", which you run from the "core" folder. There is a complex way of setting up paths for Python to simplify this, but it works this way for me. --Fæ (talk) 13:34, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Thanks. --維基小霸王 (talk) 05:07, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can anyone grant me the access first so that I won't be flooding the recent changes when replacing the descriptions?--維基小霸王 (talk) 08:59, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Has your code been changed so that you can upload the files with the bot straight away with the final descriptions? --Krd 07:53, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have figured out the way to do it. I have added the following code to upload.py:

        try:
            description_file_name = re.sub(r"\.[^.]+", ".description", original_file_path)
            description_file = open(description_file_name, mode="r")
            text = description_file.read()
            description_file.close()
            self.description = text
        except:
            pass

Now, I can add <filename>.description to the uploading folder and the text it contained will be used when uploading the images.

I will upload with the final descriptions when I upload the bitmap version of the those images.--維基小霸王 (talk) 05:06, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Krd: I have run some example uploads with the correct descriptions. Please check.--維基小霸王 (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good for me. To be approved in a few days if no objection arises. --Krd 14:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. --Krd 08:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
