Digging a bit more. I guess you are still using Python 2. There was a change made in
3.0.30190430 due to T219095 which expects unicode strings for categoryFormat but
'B' is a str in Python 2. Either you have to use the u prefix like u'B' or
you have to add this line on top of your scripts:
from __future__ Import unicode_literals
By the way the last release supporting Python 2 is 3.0.20200703.

Hi Jean-Frederic,
strings are allowed for the textlib.categoryFormat. But are you trying to run pywikibot
4.0+ with Python 2? The related code line is
xqt e4115af 2020-07-24 11:31:05 +0200 [diff] [blame] 1539 if isinstance(category,
str)
Obviously this check fails for your given 'B'.
