Initial Comment:
Since the change of the API (url) my bot (and some others, after discussion on IRC) can not connect and it's wrote on the consol the error message: "Login failed. Wrong password or CAPTCHA answer?" despite that the correct password is entered and that no captcha is answered on the browser!

Yes, it should be separate but only on my second comment I got sure of it
:)
anyway, I now get :
Should be logged in now
*** Your username is not listed on [[Wikipedia:Bots/Status]].
*** Please make sure you are allowed to use the robot before actually
using it!
But my bot is listed there. Maybe the physical text has changed...
Thanks

That typo is really a separate bug, but it's fixed in r8062 [anyway, I
think your bot is logged in even though you got the error message]

Message:
It seems to be linked to xqt's changeset #8055 where the bot status page is
changed to Wikipedia:Bot/Status. In en.wikipedia, this is (still)
Wikipedia:Bots/Status (plural form).
What's the fix?

I was since I had problems with API login not working properly and
requiring the bot to re-login (unsuccessfully) on every edit.
I just retried API login but I get an exception while logging in to
en.wikipedia (only en.wikipedia and not anywhere else so far):
Logging in to wikipedia:en as MalafayaBot via API.
Should be logged in now

Message:
It should be fixed for everyone using API login (need the line
use_api_login = True in user-config.py).  If there is anyone out there not
using API login, you need to change your user-config file.

Message:
This should be high priority, since no pywikipedia bot can login Wikipedia
before this is resolved.
