Summary: undetected session termination
Initial Comment:
I have a script which runs everyday on the toolserver to update French maintenance pages
related to WP1.0 evaluation (
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Am%C3%A9rique_pr%C3%A9colombienne/%C3%8…
).
The main action is to retrieve list of articles from categories. I have included a very
simplified version of the script if anyone needs to know what the bot was doing.
And once every month or so (remember, it's a daily task), I get an ApiError about
limit:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/nicdumz/pywikipedia/statistiques.py", line 79, in <module>
for p in pwsite.categorymembers(cat, namespaces=[1]):
File "/home/nicdumz/pywikipedia/pywikibot/data/api.py", line 428, in __iter__
self.data = self.request.submit()
File "/home/nicdumz/pywikipedia/pywikibot/data/api.py", line 260, in submit
raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"])
pywikibot.data.api.APIError: gcmlimit: gcmlimit may not be over 500 (set to 5000) for
users
It looks like a session issue, the bot getting logged out in the middle of his task:
today, the bot had already retrieved the contents of ~500 categories before crashing

Message:
Updating the title: It was definitely a session termination. I got asked
for a password on the next run, and it would explain why this bug would
only occur every month or so.
