uploading images with pywikipediabot

[Chris Watkins]

FYI: Haven't looked into it, but sounds like it can even take images from another site, e.g. Wikicommons or Flickr.

from the irc://irc.freenode.net/pywikipediabot channel:

<Emw> OMF: as of early today UTC, i was able to upload images fine with a pywikipedia build from yesterday
* OsamaK (n=osama@unaffiliated/osamak) has joined #pywikipediabot
* Mike_lifeguard is now known as Mike||gone
* OsamaK has quit ("Using a GNU/Linux")
<Chriswaterguy> emw: whoa - upload images? hadn't even thought of that!
<Chriswaterguy> Is there a way to take images from another site, e.g. Wikicommons or Flickr, and upload?
<Chriswaterguy> directly I mean
<Emw> Chriswaterguy: yes, in improve.py
<Emw> see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/upload.py
<Chriswaterguy> wonderful - no time now but will tell our community about it.
