Initial Comment: checking out the rewrite branch and copying the user files I runned touch.py and got an error as follows:

I've added the raise to get the traceback of the statement.

Message: This appears to be a result of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/10284, which removed code that automatically logged you in when you accessed the API. A work-around is to add an explicit "site.login()" call to every script.
