Message:
I talk to Wikia and another user tested an upload and it work just fine.
The difference being they were using python 2.6.5. I then found an older
2.6.5 windows installer and tried myself and it worked.
So apparently there is something wrong with the interaction with 2.7.2 and
upload.py that is causing this error.

Message:
The other bug you refer to is unrelated; that one cast a new exception
within the exception handler that prints the "WARNING..." string.

Message:
Even in that case, we should not display that message. And a network error
message that's 622 characters long? Really?
The "WARNING: Could not open 'http://sxerks.wikia.com/api.php'. Maybe the
server or your connection is down" displays on *any* error in the
connection, which could still very well be on our part.

Message:
This is not a Pywikipedia error, this is a connection error, try again
later.
It clearly states: "Could not open 'http://sxerks.wikia.com/api.php'. Maybe
the server or your connection is down."
The line before it may be an encoding error of the network error message
itself, see bug#3153555 at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3153555&group_id=9…;atid=603138.
I suppose you have a non-English environment on your computer.
We have nothing to do with wikia server or your network connection.
