[pywikibot] Trying to connect to a wiki on localhost

Hi, I'm playing with pywikibot. I have a mediawiki on my local machine, for testing. I want to extract the text from a page in it, the page being < http://127.0.0.1/mw/index.php/Cabalamat:Test_Article>gt;, so I have tried this code: localMw = pywikibot.Site( url="http://127.0.0.1/mw/index.php/") page = pywikibot.Page(localMw, "Cabalamat:Test_Article") however, I get this error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "simple.py", line 27, in <module> url="http://127.0.0.1/mw/index.php/") File "/home/phil/sproj/wfbots/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pywikibot/__init__.py", line 1214, in Site raise SiteDefinitionError("Unknown URL '{0}'.".format(url)) pywikibot.exceptions.SiteDefinitionError: Unknown URL ' http://127.0.0.1/mw/index.php/'#39;. <class 'pywikibot.exceptions.SiteDefinitionError'> CRITICAL: Closing network session. Looking at the documentation, it says < https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/api_ref/pywikibot.html#pywikibot.Site&g…gt;: *url* (*string*) – Instead of code and fam, does try to get a Site based on the URL. Still requires that the family supporting that URL exists. that it recognises, and if a site isn't on that list, it won't work. Is that correct or am I misunderstanding something? -- Phil Hunt, &lt;cabalamat(a)gmail.com&gt;
