Hi, I read https://nudin.github.io/LexData/Entity.html
I don't understand how to use it. I'm trying to get a lexeme, add a usage example and upload.
Could you add a simple example of how to add a claim to a lexeme in the readme?

As of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maxlag_parameter and like Pywikibot default. I got blocked for not having it so I edited init file on my local copy.

Creating new ones isn't always the needed action

lexeme["lexicalCategory"] == catLex never succeeds because lexeme["lexicalCategory"] is an item ID while catLex is a category label (like 'noun'). This results in an empty search result every time.

If there is no lexeme movies, but there is movie with the form movies, "get_or_create_lexeme" will get you the lexeme movie, so if you want to update sense "cinema" it will be wrong. I had about 300 lexemes mixed up due to this issue, while running a bot.

When using get_or_create_lexeme to create new English lexemes, the lexeme is created, but the program then crashes.

Program:

import LexData
from LexData.languages import en
repo = LexData.WikidataSession("Blinry", "foobar")
l = LexData.get_or_create_lexeme(repo, "watermelon", en, "Q1084")

Error:

  File "mod.py", line 18, in <module>

    for cle, values in claims.items():
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'items'

__init__.py imports requests, but setup.py doesn’t declare a dependency on that package.

Hi, I think my pywikiapi library would be a perfect fit for you -- it will take care of the low-level communication with the mediawiki, while you can focus on the lexeme-related logic? Just an idea. I have been using this lib in many of my projects, and it was originally written to be used by pywikibot library as a low-level layer (but hasn't been integrated yet).

P.S. I'm writing a big bot to import all of ru-wiktionary into lexemes at the moment -- https://github.com/nyurik/lexicator (a bit work in progress, the main.py might not work properly). It uses that lib too.

Caveat: I'm a newbie so maybe it already exist.

How do I get the value of a specific property? L.claims.values() gives me all the values but I only want one (P5187 in my specific case).

and include dataclasses.

I tried to run it from PAWS but could not figure out how to authenticate, as per my notes.

Hi, I recently found https://github.com/LeMyst/WikibaseIntegrator
Is there a reason why you don't join efforts and integrate LexDatas capabilities into that?
It seems more mature with 900+ commits and more active also right now.

I want to only log in once in my script. Can I feed LexData a logged in session to work from?

I want to enter lexemes in a language that doesn't have an ISO code yet, like L1. LexData crashes if I try that. I wonder if there would be a workaround?

Program:

import LexData
tok = LexData.Language("mis-x-Q36846", "Q36846")
repo = LexData.WikidataSession("Blinry", "foobar")
l = LexData.get_or_create_lexeme(repo, "ike", tok, "Q34698")

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mod.py", line 17, in <module>
