Forum:Multiple Logins of PyWikipedia in Windows

I have read: Using the python wikipediabot - Multiple accounts But the description isn't clear (perhaps to someone who know little about Linux). The documentation needs to be updated. I did it by trial and error for more than a week but failed. I need some serious help.

Questions:
 * 1) Where should I suppose to put the junction.exe ?
 * 2) Am I supposed to run cmd.exe. Go to the root of pywikipedia folder. Then type "junction families C:\pywikipedia\families" and "junction userinterfaces C:\pywikipedia\userinterfaces"?
 * 3) The instruction then says "The rest of the method is the same as above." In fact the codes and steps are somehow different but I don't know how to correct it.

I asked because I don't know why I always fail. I don't get any clues what's wrong.

Would anyone tell me step-by-step how to setup multiple accounts in Windows?

Thanks a lot. --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 16:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I run PyWikipedia under different accounts by creating a separate folder with a different user-config.py file for each wiki. This method takes more disk space, but is probably easier to use. SUL 17:16, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, you only need one user-config.py file, but you add a new line to each with family folder and account. I'll give you an example from mine:

sysopnames['avatar']['en'] = u'JoeyaaBot' usernames['CoD']['en'] = u'Joeyaa'

I just use a different line when I want to use a different account, I find that way easy. I probably have 20 or so lines like that in my file ^_^
 * Also, you just have to go to the main directory "Pywikipedia" while in the command prompt, so open the command prompt and go into the directory (for example, it's chdir C:\Program Files\pywikipedia and then just the command, like python replace.py ...). Does this work for you? ~Joey~  ^Talk^  23:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
