This is a static archive of the Python wiki, which was retired in February 2026 due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

Email: <WikipediaDoug AT SPAMFREE googlemail DOT com>

I am also Doug on several Wikimedia projects and I run DougBot and InterwikiBot, two Pywikipediabot based wiki editing bots on several mediawiki based wikis, including wikisource, wikilivres (a private (non-WMF) auxiliary to wikisource with servers in Canada), botwiki, and my personal developmental wiki.

I have become reasonably capable with RegularExpressions, though I don't really know much Python yet, getting assistance from others to develop simple scripts for PyWikipediaBot. I use Python 2.7 on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).

In addition to English, I can manage to communicate in writing at a basic level in German and French.
