Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

This tutorial or workshop will introduce users that know a little bit about Python to Pywikibot. We will learn how to sign in with http://paws.wmflabs.org and set up a project there. Then we will look at the basics of retrieving information from Wikidata and Wikipedia using the bot.

What will attendees take away from this session?

Attendees will learn a little more about Python, Jupyter/IPython notebooks and the powerful Pywikibot framework. Most importantly the course will make it easier to make the first steps with Pywikibot for people that would have a hard time learning it on their own.

I'd certainly like to test and help improve such a tutorial. Any chance it could be made available beforehand already, ideally as a Jupyter notebook? Don't really want to wait with this until the Wikimania videos become available. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 23:26, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Mietchen: I am collecting some tutorials here. I wish I had more time to clean it up, but in the mean time you can always mail me if you need help with anything: d:Wikidata:Pywikibot - Python 3 Tutorial]] --Tobias1984 (talk) 20:23, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
