If the directory ~/.pywikibot2 doesnt exist /path/to/current/dir/ $ python pwb.py -dir:~/.pywikibot2 version NOTE: ~/.pywikibot2/user-config.py was not found Please follow the prompts to create it: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 149, in <module> run_python_file(path, [path], [path.decode('ascii')]) File "pwb.py", line 69, in run_python_file exec(compile(source, filename, "exec"), main_mod.__dict__) File "generate_user_files.py", line 19, in <module> import pywikibot File "pywikibot/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> from pywikibot import config2 as config File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 209, in <module> _base_dir = get_base_dir() File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 195, in get_base_dir raise RuntimeError("Directory '%s' does not exist." % base_dir) RuntimeError: Directory '/path/to/current/dir/~/.pywikibot2' does not exist. (that path.decode('ascii') looks defective too)
Now ~ in argument is resolved. The exception is raised because the directory does not exist. But I think this is the wanted behaviour (*). python pwb.py version -dir:~/.pywikibot2 NOTE: 'user-config.py' was not found! Please follow the prompts to create it: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 162, in <module> []) File "pwb.py", line 75, in run_python_file exec(compile(source, filename, "exec"), main_mod.__dict__) File "generate_user_files.py", line 19, in <module> import pywikibot File "pywikibot/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> from pywikibot import config2 as config File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 224, in <module> _base_dir = get_base_dir() File "pywikibot/config2.py", line 210, in get_base_dir raise RuntimeError("Directory '%s' does not exist." % base_dir) RuntimeError: Directory '/home/user/.pywikibot2' does not exist. Note that in you example, it also fails even if the directory exists as -dir: comes before the expected script name. python pwb.py -dir:~/.pywikibot version Traceback (most recent call last): File "pwb.py", line 166, in <module> if len(sys.argv) > 1: OSError: -dir:~/.pywikibot.py not found! <type 'exceptions.OSError'> But if you put it in the expected order, which I guess is the wanted behaviour (**), then this is OK: python pwb.py version -dir:~/.pywikibot Pywikibot: [ssh] pywikibot-core.git (182616b, g4347, 2014/10/20, 19:36:09, OUTDATED) ... Python: 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:38) [GCC 4.8.2] unicode test: ok I think this bug can be closed unless (*) and (**) are not as we would like this to work.

The first parameter after 'pwb.py' MUST be the script you want to execute. Similar to how 'commit' must be directly after 'git' but '--amend' and '-a' after that can be swapped as you like.
Then, as I said, this can be closed.
