Summary: -prefixindex page generator strips everything before ":" 

Initial Comment:
Here the error:

python /home/.../interwiki.py -v -array:10 -query:20 -prefixindex:Category:Wikipedia:Medmaacher_kan -namespace:14 -lang:ksh -family:wikipedia
Checked for running processes. 1 processes currently running, including the current process.

What I had expected to see:

Retrieving Allpages special page for wikipedia:ksh from Wikipedia:Medmaacher%20kan, namespace 14

Thus, I believe, there are too man "Namepace" prefixes stripped. If I recall it right, another page generator had a similar problem in the past which was fixed.

Thank you for the quick response.
I updated to the new revision, and the situation is not really better. It
seems, prefixindex in not working, somehow.

In fact, there are several categories "User *" from the Babel system in
the cu wikipedia, but:

(1) Try:

python /home/purodha/pywikipedia/interwiki.py -v -lang:cu
-prefixindex:Category:User

I am wondering that it says "Retrieving Allpages special page ...", not
"... Prefixindex ..."

(2) Try:

python /home/.../interwiki.py -v -lang:cu -prefixindex:User -namespace:14

Namespace:14 seems to be ignored. That should not be happening silently,
at least.

(3) Try:

python /home/..../interwiki.py -v -lang:cu -prefixindex:Category:User
-namespace:14

I am not wondering anymore :-) but was expecting that, now,
"Category:User" should be looked for in NS 14, not "User"

(4) Try:

I had used -start:... as a poor replacement for -prefixindex:... before,
it works (partially) by returning pages (but incorrectly claims they were
in another namespace) 

python /home/.../interwiki.py -v -lang:cu -start:Category:User

1000s of such messages follows, so this is also not useable, but that is
likely another subject matter.

P.S.
Should I better have opened another but for this instead of using a reply?
