Summary: interwiki.py looses access to Wikipedias.
Initial Comment:
Since a few days, I get excessive instances of:
NOTE: Updating live wiki...
Changing page [[fr:NCsoft]]
Changing page has failed. Retrying.
Getting a token.
Changing page [[fr:NCsoft]]
ERROR: Unexpected response from wiki server.
200 (OK)
it waits a minute of so, then a html page is dumped to the terminal, and interwiki.py
continues without having edited the page [[fr:NCsoft]]. Whenever it comes to to the fr
Wikipedia another time, exactly the same happens again. Aborting interwiki.py and
restarting it makes it work again.
I have not seen a single instance of:
Changing page has failed. Retrying.
Getting a token.
followed by a successful edit. So I believe this to be likely a bug.
As it appears to me, not having made an edit on a Wikipedia for some time increases the
likelyhood of loosing access to it. So, long going runs of interwiki-py gradually loose
their ability to make changes at all. Restarting runs on the other hand adds to server
load, and wastes my time (I have my bot run 99.9% in manually assisted mode with -confirm)
so I'd very much like to not have to restart it ever other hour or so.
