Hi. I'm trying to install Pywikipedia, and have downloaded python, but when I go here, I see no link to 'download the latest pywiki zip file'. There is no zip file on that page. Can anyone help? Thanks, 81.151.38.162
 * Ah, it was a wrong link. Fixed. 81.151.38.162

Updating on Windows
I can't see that this page tells the user how to update the installation on Windows. Njardarlogar 14:44, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Core
The current installation instructions (whether by git or svn) gives me a directory called 'core'. It would make more sense if it was pywikibot or pywikibot-core. In previous years (before git), the SVN installation produced a directory named pywikipedia. It seems the current instructions assume I'm already in a directory named pywikibot, but this assumption is not spelled out. Having in my home directory a subdirectory named 'core' is not at all intuitive. --LA2 (talk) 01:55, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You may use your preferred directory name. pywikibot or pwb are also ok. Or something like pywikibot-core. I have a directory pwb containing both branches core and compat. @ xqt 13:17, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
