Summary: interwiki.py crashes if bot is blocked
Initial Comment: I have python v2.7.2
I run a bot that operates on every wiki so it is painful to modify user-config file every time there is a problem.
Every now and then I get all of bots interwiki operations disrupted if a wikipedia language edition decides to block. The bot running interwiki.py crashes after trying to edit that wiki. This is a problem because any block on any wiki effectively disables the bot until that block is lifted.
I thought this was a feature (somehow) until I was told this could be a bug.

Message: If a bot is blocked on a wiki, just remove it from your user-config.py. I find it not a good idea to run a blocked bot without checking the cause. This indeed could be a malfunction and it is a good idea to stop it in general until this has been veryfied.
