Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: login Group: None Status: Pending Resolution: Fixed Priority: 9 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Russell Blau (russblau) Summary: login.py

Initial Comment: Since the change of the API (url) my bot (and some others, after discussion on IRC) can not connect and it's wrote on the consol the error message: "Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer?" despite that the correct password is entered and that no captcha is answered on the browser!

Message: That typo is really a separate bug, but it's fixed in r8062 [anyway, I think your bot is logged in even though you got the error message]

Message: It seems to be linked to xqt's changeset #8055 where the bot status page is changed to Wikipedia:Bot/Status. In en.wikipedia, this is (still) Wikipedia:Bots/Status (plural form). What's the fix?

Message: I was since I had problems with API login not working properly and requiring the bot to re-login (unsuccessfully) on every edit. I just retried API login but I get an exception while logging in to en.wikipedia (only en.wikipedia and not anywhere else so far):

Message: It should be fixed for everyone using API login (need the line use_api_login = True in user-config.py). If there is anyone out there not using API login, you need to change your user-config file.

Message: This should be high priority, since no pywikipedia bot can login Wikipedia before this is resolved.

Message: For me too, the url of bugzilla is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23076
