[Pywikipedia-l] Getting started

[Beebe, Mary J]

I am trying to setup pywikipedia to work on my local wiki.  I have tried to follow online steps plus steps within README-family.txt.

My test wiki is: http://localhost/default  (it is not live anywhere).

It seems like I am having trouble with this line within default_family.py (my family file).

       self.langs = {                # REQUIRED
            'en': 'localhost/default',  # Include one line for each wiki in family
                                      # in the format 'code': 'hostname',
        }

I have tried many different possibilities but have been unsuccessful.  Here is the message I receive with login.py:

Thank you,
