Configuration Problems - Pywikipedia-l

10 Nov 2009

I posted this yesterday about 15 hours ago and don't see it yet, so I'm
reposting:

I'm new to anything Python related.  I downloaded pywikimedia yesterday and
am trying to get this to work.

This is my dump from
api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general|namespaces|namespacealiases|statistics

This is my current "lockwiki_family.py" file (I removed the commented out
lines):

When I go to login.py the screen flashes and closes within a second.

I did have

        self.name = 'Locksmith Wiki Knowledge Base'        # REQUIRED;
replace with actual name
and
            self.namespaces[4] = {
            '_default': [u'Locksmith Wiki Knowledge Base',
self.namespaces[4]['_default']], # REQUIRED
        }

set as

        self.name = 'lockwiki'        # REQUIRED; replace with actual name
and
            self.namespaces[4] = {
            '_default': [u'lockwiki',
self.namespaces[4]['_default']], #
REQUIRED
        }

and that let me at least enter my password, but the screen closed so quickly
I couldn't read the several lines of type that flashed up shortly
afterwards.

What am I doing wrong here?
