For what it is worth, here is the version I'm running and one of the actual errors...

which of course then fails, goes to 2 minutes..., 3 minutes..., etc...
I tried to generate a new family file, which returned my API probably isn't on. Untrue, I use AutowikiBot all the time, worked great with 1.16 and now with 1.17 upgrade.
I never could get pywikipedia to work with another 1.16 wiki I admin, so I gave up completely using pywikipedia on it. I am about at this point, and ready to write pywikipedia off completely as I have never, ever had a problem using autowikiBot. It just works and works extremely well.
Now when I type in login.py or login.py -help or login.py -family:mywiki it just returns to the command prompt, pywikipedia>, so login.py is now broken.
Thanks for any help--- Tom
