Summary: No JSON object could be decoded
Initial Comment:
On Ubuntu 10.04, Karmic LAMP (PHP 5.2) Python 2.6.5, pywikipediabot from 2010-05-29 SVN,
using identical server and bot configuration files as on a Mac setup (however, in this
case, pywikipediabot reports an IP address, so I didn't need to hack httpd.conf), I
get the following:
"Logging into FamilyName:en as UserName via API
Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded
Request en:/scriptpath/api.php?
Retrying in x seconds
I changed this to milliseconds to timely see the final error message, which is:
ERROR: ApiGetDataParse cause error No JSON object could be decoded
The program also creates a dump file containing the following:
Error reported: No JSON object could be decoded
127.0.0.1
/scriptpath/api.php?
<feff>{"login":{"result":"NeedToken","token":"[some
md5-looking hash]"}}
Any ideas?

Message:
The <feff> is a UTF-16 BOM. Either urllib was changed, or you made some
change to api.php, accidentally adding it. Could you double-check if your
api.php is unchanged from the original mediawiki files (in other words:
replace it with an orginal from SVN/release)?

Message:
Looking at some earlier logs, I see that this problem first appeared when I
upgraded from Python 2.6.1 to 2.6.2 in May. I am surprised that I seem to
be the only person having this problem.
