Handle page protection having no expiry (#290)

Adam Williamson authored 2 years ago

Issue #290 gives an example of a wiki with protected pages whose
protection definitions have no 'expiry' key at all. This seems
strange and, on a quick through the mediawiki code, difficult
to achieve, but since there's a live site out there that does it,
and mediawiki *does* seem to have at least some code to handle
such cases (e.g. how the expiry shows as 'indefinite' in the
page information), let's handle it too, by representing this as
None.

mwclient

mwclient is a lightweight Python client library to the MediaWiki API which provides access to most API functionality. It works with Python 2.7 as well as 3.5 and above, and supports MediaWiki 1.16 and above. For functions not available in the current MediaWiki, a MediaWikiVersionError is raised.

The current stable version 0.10.1 is available through PyPI:

$ pip install mwclient

The current development version can be installed from GitHub:

$ pip install git+git://github.com/mwclient/mwclient.git

Please see the changelog document for a list of changes.

Documentation

Up-to-date documentation is hosted at Read the Docs. It includes a user guide to get started using mwclient, a reference guide, implementation and development notes.

There is also some documentation on the GitHub wiki that hasn't been ported yet. If you want to help, you're welcome!

Contributing

Patches are welcome! See this page for information on how to get started with mwclient development.
