Hi KP,

Try downloading a new nightly from the website: http://tools.wmflabs.org/pywikibot/compat.zip -- it sounds like the externals/ directory is missing some files.

Hello,

I use Pywikibot for a Wikia wiki I run, mostly for deleting multiple articles. I'm still really new at this since I only use my bot for mass-categorizing and deleting.

Today while I was deleting pages my bot ran into an error. I unfortunately didn't save the message but whenever I execute login.py, I get the following message:

C:\Pywikibot>login.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Pywikibot\login.py", line 59, in <module> import query File "C:\Pywikibot\query.py", line 30, in <module> import wikipedia as pywikibot File "C:\Pywikibot\wikipedia.py", line 162, in <module> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup, BeautifulStoneSoup, SoupStrainer ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

I've switched from Python 2.7 to 3.4 and back, and I've also updated my Pywikibot files. I am officially stumped. Again, I'd like to remind you all, I'm not well-versed in this so I'll try my best to follow directions.

Thanks for your time.

-KP
