I am installing pywikipedia. I have gotten to the point where I can run
python login.py and get prompted for a password. Then I get this:
[root@mustang pywikipedia]# !python
python login.py
Password for user wikibot on mustang:en:
Logging in to mustang:en as wikibot
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried the only solution on the archive I could find
Hello Mary,
the self.langs should contain the hostname 'localhost'. The path for the
wiki should be given in scriptpath. In your case, try something like
self.langs = {'en': 'localhost'}
def scriptpath(self, code):
return '/default'
Hopefully that should work!
Best reagards,
Merlijn
This did not work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
