Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1136/ Reported by: Anonymous user Created on: 2010-03-09 13:34:43 Subject: Login no longer available Original description: I get the following errors when using a known good user-config.py and family configurations for an SVN checkout of 2009-11-05. This is for a local wiki.

Using 2010-03-09, I get the following error on Ubuntu 9.04 (Python 2.6.2) and Ubuntu 8.04 (Python 2.5.2): Logging into FamilyName:en as UserName via API

Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded Request: en:/scriptpath/api.php? Retrying in 1 minutes.... (I changed line 152 of query.py to retry_idle_time*0.01 so I could see the dump without growing a beard first)

Dump output:

Error reported: No JSON object could be decoded 127.0.0.1 /hcrscript/api.php?

{"login":{"result":"Success","lguserid":3,"lgusername":"UserName","lgtoken":"2b448df9379b445c225c0a5c1d3af18b","cookieprefix":"DatabaseName","sessionid":"3dd4cc3dd33236b57da8234d2f73e6d3"}}

on Ubuntu 9.04:

python version.py Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r7983, 2010/03/09, 08:14:34) Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, April 19, 2009, 01:56:41) [GCC 4.3.3]

also broken on Ubuntu 8.04

python version.py Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r7983, 2010/03/09, 08:14:34) Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 22 2009, 15:35:03) [GCC 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)]

But it seems to work fine on this system:

foreignhost:pywikipedia-2010-03-09 alex$ python version.py Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r7983, 2010/03/09, 08:14:34) Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)]

Any ideas what's happening?
