fastily / pwiki Goto Github PK

I am using this library in my automation project. I would like to request a feature that allows users to specify the server IP address for wiki domain resolution. This feature would be similar to modifying the Hosts file, enabling users to override the default DNS lookup and resolve wiki domains to specific IP addresses.

This functionality would be particularly useful in scenarios where network configurations or security policies restrict access to certain domains, or when testing against specific wiki instances that are not publicly accessible. By providing the ability to specify the server IP address, users can ensure that the library connects to the intended wiki instance without relying on external DNS resolution.

Thank you for considering my request.

We use pwiki to generate pages from our CI/CD server, but our Wiki is located internal.
Therefore a domain-name only is not sufficient for us.
We need, protocol (http), port (8081) and path (mediawiki-1.41.0) to access the wiki.

I've hacked a solution, but I don't thinks that's what you have in mind.

def __init__(self, domain: str = "en.wikipedia.org", url: str = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w", username: str = None, password: str = None, cookie_jar: Path = Path(".")):
    ...
    self.endpoint: str = f"{url}/api.php"
    ...

Usage:

wiki = Wiki("compiler", "http://compiler:8081/mediawiki-1.41.0", "xxx", "xxx")

Any suggestions?
