I am going to check with the fr: sysops to discuss about that bot. Currently the robot.txt doesnt allow Rob's bot. I think we will conduct some test :)
Unless it has been changed since Saturday, the bot actually is allowed - it has loaded many French pages to check the Dutch ones.
Hello,
Well here is my last try:
In wikipedia.py I setup the user agent like that: conn.putheader("User-Agent", "HasharBot (pywikipedia.py)")
I then execut login.php:
(snip)
The problem is that login.py does not use the connection facilities of wikipedia.py. Christian List has now changed login.py so that it does provide a User agent; please upload login.py anew and try again.

I advise anyone using the bot to subscribe to the pywikipediabot mailing list on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=93107
Keeping discussions about the bot on that forum keeps everyone updated without "bot"hering the true wikimedia developers.
