This client can be used to automate the tracwiki publishing by script.

Please see ​http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracDev/DataModels for an example of how to do this, its rather trivial.

Requested script

[Noah Kantrowitz]

A basic script to do what you requested has been attached. You will probably want to modify, but it should do as a base.

sudo ./wikieditor.py wiki-page

[Alec Thomas]

From talking to tjyang on IRC, I think he wants something more like ​MVS, which I'd personally never heard of before, but lets you remotely check out Wiki pages in a manner similar to CVS.

As an aside, I have a ​small script that uses the XmlRpcPlugin to remotely edit one wiki page at a time, similar to your wikieditor.py​. The XmlRpcPlugin could also be used to implement something like MVS, but it would be a much bigger job.

Changed summary to be more indicative of what tjyang wanted.

[Alec Thomas]

coderanger, perhaps you could create a NewHack for your wikieditor.py​ script? Others might find it useful...

Usage vimtrac.py ​http://hostname/trac/wiki/WikiStart, (works with $EDITOR)

[Antony]

I attached a new version called vimtrac.py

This version use plain HTTP to communicate with trac, it works remotely and depends only on python.

Usage:

./vimtrac.py ​http://hostname/trac/wiki/WikiStart

Despite the name it uses $EDITOR.

I added traccmd, another script that does this kind of thing.

Bah. That should have been TracCmdScript
