[Pywikipedia-l] Getting started: Wrong hostname and path used - pywikibot

4 Sep 2009

Hi,

I'm just getting started with pywikipediabot. I want to test the on my 
local mediawiki installation. I created the necessary files as follows

==== user-config.py =====
# -*- coding: utf-8  -*-

family = 'OcomWiki'
mylang = 'en'
usernames['OcomWiki']['en'] = u'OcomBot'

And the corresponding family file:

==== families/OcomWiki_family.py =====

# -*- coding: utf-8  -*-
import config, family, urllib

class Family(family.Family):
     def __init__(self):
         family.Family.__init__(self)
         self.name = 'OcomWiki'
         self.langs = {
             'en': 'localhost'
         }

     def scriptpath(self, code):
         return '/wiki'

     def version(self, code):
         return '1.15.1'

According to various documentations, this should be enough. But when 
invoking

python login.py -v -v

I get the following output:

cbersch@ioip0136:~/Desktop/pywikipedia$ python login.py -v -v

Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer?

My settings in the OcomWiki_family.py do not seem to be used. When I 
change 'localhost' to anything else or the return statement of 
scriptpath to something weird, the same request is sent to localhost.

Thank you,
Christoph
