You probably know by now that the English Wikipedia will be closed tomorrow [1]. Keep an eye on your bots if they're running on the English Wikipedia (don't forget interwiki.py) because you might see some unexpected behaviour or just crashes tomorrow.
One thing I noticed is that the bot does not 'see' that it has been unable to edit. This means that the -limittwo and -whenneeded options of interwiki.py are not working correctly at the moment - the bot will edit the home wiki and _think_ it has edited the English wiki. I might be the only one using these, but if not, I advise other uses to switch these options off for a day.
