- Unicode bug in python 2.6+ (was: Default Python will change to 2.7) - Default Python will change to 2.7
a few days ago. I think this might be relevant for you.
Cheers,

This probably does not affect you, although it might be better to run under python 2.5. This bug is triggered only with page titles with multiple accents, which means it doesn't happen for many languages -- mainly languages such as hindi and vietnamese are affected.
I cannot see anything clear on why archivebot is not working for you -- although I have no experience running it myself, your configuration files and method to start archivebot seem OK to me. If you have any programming experience, try adding some debugging output to archivebot.py (eg. 'print pg' at line 662). If you do not, you'll have to wait for someone who can do this for you - unfortunately, I cannot, at the moment.
Best regards, Merlijn
I just took a look, you can see my trial edits on the page I got it to work for the most part, apparently its having issues with some timestamps b it does appear to work fine.

Which timestamps? Each timestamp format has to be coded into the script, which can be done fairly easily once we have the format..

Thanks to all for the comments and effort. Over the weekend I uninstalled python 2.7.1 and tried everything again with 2.6.5 and 2.5.4. I updated my tracking page (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Spangineer/Sandbox3) with results, but the short answer is that while 2.6.5 did not give me the unicode error, it still did not actually perform an archive. Version 2.5.4 did not even allow me to login, and instead gave me a different error, which I copy/pasted into the bottom of the above-linked page.
Merlijn: I have some programming experience, but not in this language, so my efforts to debug will be stabs in the dark... but it's looking more and more necessary.
John: what settings did you use? Would you mind telling me, step-by-step, what you did?
