Page.previousRevision assumes many revisions are loaded by Page.getVersionHistory. $ python pwb.py shell Welcome to the Pywikibot interactive shell! >>> import pywikibot >>> s = pywikibot.Site('en', 'wikipedia') >>> p = pywikibot.Page(s, 'Main Page') >>> p.previousRevision() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File ".../pywikibot/page.py", line 550, in previousRevision revkey = sorted(self._revisions, reverse=True)[1] IndexError: list index out of range Page.getVersionHistory loads all revisions only if total is not set, but if total is set, it only fetches one revision. >>> p = pywikibot.Page(s, 'Main Page') >>> p.getVersionHistory() [(615503846, Timestamp(2014, 7, 4, 0, 24, 48), u'Magioladitis', u'Reverted edits by [[Special:Contribs/Magioladitis|Magioladitis]] ([[User talk:Magioladitis|talk]]) to last version by David Levy')] >>> p.getVersionHistory(total=2) [(615503846, Timestamp(2014, 7, 4, 0, 24, 48), u'Magioladitis', u'Reverted edits by [[Special:Contribs/Magioladitis|Magioladitis]] ([[User talk:Magioladitis|talk]]) to last version by David Levy')] This change occurred in 2009 http://git.wikimedia.org/commit/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/1946dc13 It can be seen by only running this single test method: python -m unittest -v tests.page_tests.TestPageObject.testApiMethods
Bah. This was caused by a local change. Sorry.
