Thank you for that. That got me a step farther. I was able to auto-generate the user-config.py file.
When I try to login, I get a 404 error. (python pwb.py login)
I'll post the log message (I used debug) in a second, but here's the url that pywikibot is using:
If you load that in your browser, you'll see that it displays json data, so I don't understand why I'm getting the 404 message.
Here's the log entry:

I don't understand why I'm getting a 404 when the same query, loaded in a browser, returns the json-formatted data requested.
Do I need to be using a -p and typing in the password?

OK, we probably should add an option to generate_family_file.py for ignoring SSL errors. But for now try using this pregenerated file: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F10802604 (it should be placed at pywikibot/families directory)

I screwed up. I meant to type family file and typed user-config.py instead.
I changed the ignore_certificate_error return value to true in pywikibot/family.py, but it still chokes on ssl verify. That surprised me. It's like the code is being ignored.

I even added this to user-config.py, but still got the same result.
def ignore_certificate_error(self, code): return True
I think ignore_certificate_error should be defined inside the family file and has no effect in user-config.py. As a workaround you can modify the ignore_certificate_error in pywikibot/family.py to make it return True. Then generate your family file using the generator script (hopefully there won't be any error now). After that you can revert the change in family.py and define ignore_certificate_error in the newly generated file.
