Bug ID: 72603 Summary: 'Maximum retries' api.py exception is not Python 3 compatible Product: Pywikibot Version: core (2.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: network Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: jayvdb@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: ---

In this py3 build, there are some network issues, and py3 exception handling shows three exceptions, including json decoding exceptions. The result is confusing to someone unfamiliar with py3 or not intimately aware of how the api.py request error handling is organised.
