Category: login Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Barrett (djbarrett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: redirect.py claims I'm not a sysop

Initial Comment: Recently, redirect.py is refusing to delete articles, claiming "No sysop in user-config.py, put page to speedy deletion." However, the user in user-config.py is indeed a "bot" and a "sysop" on our wiki. This behavior began recently.

$ python redirect.py broken -pt:1 Retrieving special page... Retrieved 55 redirects from special page.

My article title <<<

Redirect target [[My missing article]] does not exist. Do you want to delete [[My article title]]? ([y]es, [N]o, [a]ll, [q]uit) y No sysop in user-config.py, put page to speedy deletion. Updating page [[Country based pricing plan]] via API

user-config.py contains: mylang='en' family='mywiki' usernames['vistawiki']['en'] = u'Wikisysop2'

I already tried clearing out the login-data subdirectory and running login.py again (successfully). However, the sysop problem remains. Any ideas?
