Bug ID: 72974 Summary: Password file should normalize username Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: login.py Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: valhallasw@arctus.nl Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

With

user-config.py -------------- family = 'wikipedia' mylang = 'en' usernames['wikipedia']['en'] = u'valhallasw' password_file = 'password'

password -------- (u'valhallasw', 'topsecretpassword')

The password is not used, as the username is u'Valhallasw' once LoginManager checks the password file.

LoginManager should normalize the usernames in the password file.

Workaround: Use (u'Valhallasw', 'topsecretpassword') in the password file.
