Then I went to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login.
Here is stated something completely else:
action=clientlogin
The intro section of that page explains which action to use.
I don't think the compat branch of Pywikibot supports OAuth; it definitely
does not support action=clientlogin (which is not meant for bots). It will
work with action=login and bot passwords [1] after [2] is merged.
