Hi Larry, there are two way to use Pywikibot as a side package: 1. add a user-config.py in your /variant folder. A minimal sample can be found at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/pywikibot/core/+/88f22977fd1… 2. or set a PYWIKIBOT_NO_USER_CONFIG environment variable to 1 or 2 to ignore user-config settings The pwb.py script wrapper (as well as the generate_... scripts are available in directory mode only. You can get it including predefined scripts from nightly https://pywikibot.toolforge.org/ or as git repository from gerrit or from github clone https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot Adding pwb.py and generate_user_files.py/generate_family_file.py to side oackage is still under development https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/560057 Seem our documentation is insufficient, sorry for that. If you have further questions do not hesitate to ask.
