Manual:Pywikibot/watchlist.py

watchlist.py merely outputs the watchlist of the account running the script.

Syntax
Syntax is straightforward, as there appear to be no arguments which can be used with it. Just type python watchlist.py

Usage
From a command line this displays the currently logged in account's watchlist as a list of page titles, and updates the local cache of the watchlist used by other pywikipediabot modules.

When calling from other programmes, useful functions within this module include refresh (refreshing the local copy of the watchlist, normally only done monthly) and isWatched (returning True or False) with watch and unwatch available from wikipedia.py.

For example the following Python code will unwatch any matching currently watched image on Commons category "Flowers": import wikipedia, catlib, pagegenerators from watchlist import isWatched

site = wikipedia.getSite('commons', 'commons') cat = catlib.Category(site,u'Category:Flowers') gen = pagegenerators.CategorizedPageGenerator(cat,recurse=False)

for page in gen: title=page.title if isWatched(title, site): print "Unwatching",title page.unwatch
