Editing IntroductoryBooks page
by daniël bosold June 3, 2020

June 3, 2020

I was just reading the wiki looking for some recommended introductory books on the IntroductoryBooks page and noticed that most of the entries there are Video courses. While, interesting, it's not what this page is about. Hoping to edit this page (and move the courses to a VideoCourses page - or some such) I found that it's locked down, likely due to inconsiderate users or spammers. I'd like to be able to fix this page as well as add a separate one for courses. Can I do that? thank you, RagnarVanDerWiel

Hello! I'd love to add my recent book, *Practices of the Python Pro* <https://www.manning.com/books/practices-of-the-python-pro>, to the AdvancedBooks page <https://wiki.python.org/moin/AdvancedBooks> if that's okay. I'm happy to make the edit if given access. Let me know if you need more information from me! Cheers, -- Dane Hillard

Broken link at https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter
by Jeremy Mlazovsky Feb. 25, 2020

Feb. 25, 2020

I just created an account (JeremyMlazovsky) so I could try to edit https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter . The second bullet point in the TkInter Documentation section is: - Tkinter reference: a GUI for Python <http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/> (online or pdf <http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/tkinter.pdf>) by John W. Shipman, New Mexico Tech Computer Center Both of those links are broken. I went to the Wayback Machine and it has been broken for at least 2-3 years, and Googling his name indicates he has passed away, so it is probably a safe bet that this is permanently inaccessible. I just wanted to notify the admins so you can update the page to reflect that.

Hi Marc, I'm not aware of any filtering the infrastructure team does, but you may get an authoritative answer from the site's maintainers, who are copied on this reply.

tip on converting reStructuredText to MoinMoin wiki format
by Sumana Harihareswara Feb. 10, 2020

Feb. 10, 2020

Here is a tip for anyone who is converting a complicated page on the wiki from reStructuredText to MoinMoin wiki format, as I just did https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingWG?action=diff&rev1=107&rev2=108 . I'd been looking for an rST-to-MoinMoin converter but hadn't found one, so I ended up using pandoc to get to an intermediate HTML state, then an HTML-to-MoinMoin format. (I did this so I could use the `<<TableOfContents()>>` syntax to automatically get a table of contents and easy anchor tag links to page sections.) Cleaned up to remove backtracking, I: 1) copied the rST source text of the page into a local file, packagingwg.rst 2) removed the `#format rst` line from the start (but copied the rest of the hashmarked stuff from the start, like an #acl line, into a separate scratch pad to retain for later) 3) turned the rST into HTML using pandoc: `pandoc -o packagingwg.html packagingwg.rst` (this gave me a few errors, like "[WARNING] Reference not found for 'fundable packaging improvements' at chunk line 1 column 50", which meant it slightly misformatted a few internal wiki links 4) installed libhtml-wikiconverter-moinmoin-perl which is available as a Debian package 5) converted from HTML to MoinMoin using `html2wiki --dialect=MoinMoin packagingwg.html > packagingwg.wiki` 6) pasted the non-format-related hashmarked lines from my scratch pad into the start of packagingwg.wiki 7) corrected the "Reference not found" errors by removing the `|` in any hyperlinks that had turned into `[[|internal-pagename]` 8) replaced the contents of the page source with packagingwg.wiki Worked fine! Only on the revision AFTER that (so, knowing what format to use for the renderer, I suppose) will MoinMoin properly preview a table of contents for the page. So, heads-up. If there is an easier rst-to-MoinMoin path, or if there's a table of contents syntax available that works for reStructuredText-formatted pages on wiki.python.org, please let me know! I looked but I may have missed something. -- Sumana Harihareswara Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc
