[Pywikipedia-l] Rewrite pywikipedia out-of-the-boxerror(TypeError: a float is required in http.py)

[Russell Blau]

No, it's definitely related to 2.6.  I get the same error running the rewrite branch under 2.6, but not under 2.5.  I'm not sure why, just yet.  As a work-around, you can try running your script(s) under Python 2.5 for now.

  The only thing I think off is I used my old user-config.py instead of copying config2.py to a fresh user-config.py and changing it's values with username, family, etc.

  Could that be the problem?.

    I'm not sure about the TypeError; will investigate further and see if I can reproduce it.  It seems a very odd error on the face of it; why would a "raise" statement cause an exception saying "a float is required"?

      When running one of the scripts from "tests" folder or a custom script I get:

      Any ideas why?

      I'll try replace.py later and post back.
