1: generate_user_files.py fails if the families directory is missing from PYWIKIBOT2_DIR. Which of course is the case by default if the environment variable points to an empty directory created somewhere. It's the call in line 130-131 that fails. As I prefer to have my configuration files somewhere outside of my SVN copy of pywikibot, I solved the problem by creating a symlink. Could I suggest that something about this is documented in the INSTALL file or somewhere else that's easily accessible?
Fixed in r8154. You should be able to save your configuration files anywhere you want, as long as you set PYWIKIBOT2_DIR to point to that location.
