Moving to a non-accented directory solved the issue. User is running rewrite; version.py did not yield useful results because it doesn't support git or git nightlies yet...
in config.datafilepath(*filename), os.path.join(base_dir, *filename) fails if: -. at least one of the argument of os.path.join() is unicode and -. at least one of the argument of os.path.join() has non-ASCII char
*** Bug 55230 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Solved by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/85029/ Use unicode base path; fixes https://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1648/ execfile does not accept unicode paths, so a manual exec open(...).read() will have to take its job. Change-Id: I9741c9f97e5a66f0d1af012a82f933f493c64066
