--- Comment #1 from John Mark Vandenberg jayvdb@gmail.com --- Indeed. I was going to raise this bug myself, as it is preventing automated testing of the scripts before code review (as the WMF test boxes are not supposed to make network connections).

In addition to disabling connecting to the wiki for '-help', we should offer to disable that call to site.live_version() in the startup sequence for _all_ commands. I did a partial solution in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/137009 , but there is still more unnecessary network activity during startup.
