Hello,
As you may know, Wikibase currently does not normalize pagenames/filenames
on save (e.g. underscores in the input for properties of datatype Commons
media are allowed). At the same time, Wikidata’s quality constraints
extension
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikibaseQualityConstraints>
triggers a constraint violation after saving, if underscores are used. This
is by design as to long-established
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Constraint:Commons_link> Community
practices. As a result, this inconsistency leaves users with unnecessary
manual work.
We will update Wikibase so that when a new edit is saved via UI or API, and
a pagename/filename is added or changed in that edit, then this
pagename/filename will be normalized on save ("My file_name.jpg" -> "My
file name.jpg").
More generally, the breaking change is that a user of the Wikibase API may
send one data value when saving an edit, and get back a slightly different
(normalized) data value after the edit was made: it is no longer the case
that data values are either saved unmodified or totally rejected (e.g. if a
file doesn’t exist on Commons). Since this guarantee is being removed with
this breaking change announcement, we may introduce further normalizations
in the future and only announce them as significant changes, not breaking
changes.
The change is currently available on test.wikidata.org and
test-commons.wikimedia.org. It will be deployed on Wikidata on or shortly
after September 6th. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel
free to let us know in this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251480>.
Cheers,
Lucas Werkmeister

Whenever I try using the bot it says
"The 'setuptools>=20.2; python_version >= "3.6"' distribution was not found
and i
s required by the application
A package necessary for pywikibot is missing.
Please update required module with:
pip install "setuptools>=20.2"
"
I ran the pip install "setuptools>=20.2" command and it keeps saying this
NB: I have recently run the "pip install -r requirements.txt" too
