Mailto.py
From MythTV
Note: The correct title of this article is mailto.py. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
This is a pywikipedia script, developed to support maintenance of this site.
Several user pages have email links on them. Mediawiki supports the mailto: type designator. However, many of the entries, due to MoinMoin's style, have spaces in them. This script cleans up the mail links, and make them operable again.
Source code
mailto.py
import re
from pywikipedia import wikipedia
site = wikipedia.getSite()
for page in site.allpages():
if not page.isRedirectPage():
wikitext = page.get()
try:
mailtoR = re.compile("mailto:\((.*)\)")
results = mailtoR.search(wikitext)
before, after = results.span()
final = wikitext[0:before] + re.compile("\(|\)").sub("", re.compile(" ").sub("_", results.group())) + wikitext[after:]
if wikitext <> final:
page.put(newtext = final, comment='[[pywikipedia]] assisted cleanup ([[mailto.py]])-> fixing legacy email references', minorEdit=True)
except:
pass
How to run it
To run the script, it needs no arguments.
% python mailto.py
It will search all pages, and where it sees: mailto:(foo at bar), it will replace it with mailto:foo_at_bar.
