I am trying to setup Pywikipedia (r7665 (wikipedia.py), 2009/11/17, 12:24:54)

The login.py script works.

Using the addtext.py script fails with the text below:

<addtext.py>

python-2.4.3 add_text.py -cat:Bot_Test -text:"another bot test" -down Getting [[Category:Bot Test]]... Loading Bot Test Page...

</addtext.py>

Based on the inprop=protection part of the error, I disabled the AuthorProtect extension and tried again:

Failed, but for a different reason:

<addtext.py - AuthorProtection = off>

python-2.4.3 add_text.py -cat:Bot_Test -text:"another bot test" -down Getting [[Category:Bot Test]]... Loading Bot Test Page...
