I have been using pywikipedia a lot in the past- tens of thousands of pages. Last time I did something was a few weeks ago. Recently, I went to fire it up and it fails with a peculiar error I have never seen before. EG, say I run a replace.py, it asks me to confirm y n and I say yes. Before, it would just save it and go to the next. Instead, it asks me for my password as if I were logged out. Then it prints a message that I am logged in, but then fails with the following message:

Should be logged in now

I downloaded the latest copy of pywikipedia but got the same error. If folks are using pywikipedia fine, then please let me know what version you are using. Thanks -~ Phlox 23:07, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Well I don't have such a problem. Just a reminder. A misconfigured family.py may cause this error. You may want to see if you made any mistakes in the family.py --MyBrute Resource Center@Ronga 01:54, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
