After a fresh checkout from git, python pwb.py login -family:i18n -lang:i18n asks for a password, says the bot was logged in, but subsequent actions ask for a passwort again. The files mentioned in the documentation are not created. There is a file pywikibot.lwp that has the cookies related to the wiki. purodha@tools-dev:~/pywikibot$ python pwb.py version Pywikibot: [ssh] pywikibot-core.git (e553f36, g2767, 2014/02/23, 15:09:44, ok) Release version: 2.0b1 Python: 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:03:06) [GCC 4.6.3] unicode test: ok purodha@tools-dev:~/pywikibot$ python pwb.py login -family:i18n -lang:i18n Password for user Purbo_T on i18n:i18n (no characters will be shown): Logging in to i18n:i18n as Purbo_T Logged in on i18n:i18n as Purbo T. purodha@tools-dev:~/pywikibot$ python pwb.py pagefromfile -file:/tmp/purodha-pagefromfile-test -appendbottom -nocontent:/try Reading '/tmp/purodha-pagefromfile-test'... >>> User:Purodha/try <<< Password for user Purbo_T on i18n:i18n (no characters will be shown):
Could you post your user-config.py?
Thanks for the hint. Here's the problem: user-config.py: usernames['i18n']['i18n'] = u'Purbo_T' pywikibot.lwp: Set-Cookie3: translatewiki_net_bw_UserName="Purbo+T"; path="/"; domain="translatewiki.net"; path_spec; expires="2014-08-22 21:18:35Z"; httponly=None; version=0 The equivalence of " ", "_", "+" inside the user name in various contexts is not properly taken unto account. Altering user-config.py to: usernames['i18n']['i18n'] = u'Purbo T' finds the user logged in.
It's just the _ in the user name -- we determine user names like this: if not self.nocapitalize: if user: user = user[0].upper() + user[1:] if sysop: sysop = sysop[0].upper() + sysop[1:] (site.py) and compare that to what the API returns (which is a capitalized-or-not name with spaces, not underscores). The better solution would be to either a) normalize the username (with a Page object -- which I guess is OK because Page objects are used more often in Site) or b) comparing the usernames with site.sametitle (which currently does not take underscores into account, but should) Marking as 'easy' for anyone willing to pick up option a)
