I finally had some time available to start moving my code over to the rewrite branch, and made some notes along the way. 1: generate_user_files.py fails if the families directory is missing from PYWIKIBOT2_DIR. Which of course is the case by default if the environment variable points to an empty directory created somewhere. It's the call in line 130-131 that fails. As I prefer to have my configuration files somewhere outside of my SVN copy of pywikibot, I solved the problem by creating a symlink. Could I suggest that something about this is documented in the INSTALL file or somewhere else that's easily accessible? 2: As I was instantiating the LoginManager directly, I noticed that they keyword argument had changed from username to user. Not mentioned in the conversion docs, although it's an easy fix. 3: Login completely failed (but I figured out why), but also noticed that it failed with a NameError, there's a reference to _logger in login.py. I think it's line 153. 4: Once I figured out that the api is the right LoginManager now (because login.py no longer has a getCookie() method), things were working again. Or maybe I'm not supposed to login that way anyway? ;) 5: I still get a couple of warnings when threadedhttp.py is importing pkg_resources. I find those annoying and would really like them to go away. Cheers, Morten
