We run a private wiki, requiring logins to read. Pywikibot worked fine in MediaWiki 1.26, but since upgrading to MediaWiki 1.27.1, pywikbot now cannot log in. Any debugging help appreciated! The symptom is:

$ pwb.py login.py
ERROR: APIError: readapidenied: You need read permission to use this module
Password for user Danb on examplewiki:en (no characters will be shown): ********
Logging in to examplewiki:en as Danb
WARNING: API warning (login): Fetching a token via action=login is deprecated. Use action=query&meta=tokens&type=login instead.
ERROR: Login failed (Failed).

My family file DOES contains an isPublic method that returns False, as instructed for private wikis at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Use_on_third-party_wikis#Bot....

Also, authentication is by LDAP (using extension LdapAuthentication from mediawiki.org) and requires username, password, and domain. This worked fine for Pywikibot in MW 1.26.

I tried generating a new family file, and that failed too:

$ ./generate_family_file.py https://examplewiki.net/wiki/Home examplewiki
Generating family file from https://examplewiki.net/wiki/Home
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./generate_family_file.py", line 293, in _parse_post_117
    info = json.loads(data.read().decode(data.charset))['query']['general']

Here is the Pywikibot version info:

$ pwb.py version.py
