MediaWiki 1.29.0 Apache 2.4.27 MySQL 5.6.37 PHP 5.6.31 phpMyAdmin 4.7.2 Python 3.6.2 Pywikibot (whatever the latest from ToolForge is)
I recently installed Bitnami mediawiki wamp stack, python and pywikibot with tbe above versions. It is a local installation running on MS Windows 10. My mediawiki seems to work fine. I can login, create and edit pages. I added a separate bot user but when I go to try to set a password on the Special page for Bot passwords I get the following error: Invalid IP address or range: 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 I have tried every combination of ip addresses I can imagine (inluding the default) 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0 but nothing is accepted. I am new to wikis, python and that sort of stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can you check whether there is a newline between 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0? They are two independent masks (one for matching 'all ipv4 addresses', one for 'all ipv6 addresses'), so they should be on seperate lines.
If that also fails, remove the ::/0 range -- most likely you're using ipv4 (127.0.0.1) so you just need the 0.0.0.0/0 range.
Hope this helps!
