Message: Oh when I ran the bot initially without -l turkish it ignored all threads. Since it already archived 3 of the 6 initial threads it is still reporting 0 Threads as it cannot see the ones with "Mayıs" month name.

Message: Sure. There is no traceback error for me to provide though since the code does work, it just ignores some threads.

Run1: archivebot.py -l turkish Archive/config Fetching template transclusions... Getting references to [[Sablon:Archive/config]] via API...

Run2: archivebot.py Archive/config Fetching template transclusions... Getting references to [[Sablon:Archive/config]] via API...

Note the Turkish character ı is displayed as i in the CMD window (I run code using Windows). The ???? relate to my user talk page http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kullan%C4%B1c%C4%B1_mesaj:%E3%81%A8%E3%81%82%E3... but CMD cannot display unicode.

Message: Could you give us a traceback or further informations about that bug? The bot uses the monthnames coming from mediaWiki messages and I don't know what is the significance of the locale setting. Could you try to run the bot without --locale=tr setting?
