Bug ID: 69781 Summary: makecat uses http on import, causing deadlock Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---
makecat has its main loop at the module level, rather than in a function main() like other scripts.
This causes a deadlock in handleArgs while trying to fetch the live API version.
