Need help to login with pwb.py with a bot account - Wikitech-l

19 Jun 2021

Hello all,

I am trying to run a pywikibot based bot on toolforge server.

i logged into tool forge.

Cloned the pywikibot.

created the user-config.py and user-password.py with below content.

cat user-config.py
mylang = 'pa'
family = 'wikisource'
usernames['wikisource']['pa'] = 'WD-WS Integration Bot'
usernames['wikidata']['wikidata'] = 'WD-WS Integration Bot'
password_file = "user-password.py"

cat user-password.py
('WD-WS Integration Bot', BotPassword('wd-ws-integration-bot',
'PASSWORD HERE'))

Created bot account at pa.wikisource.org

https://pa.wikisource.org/wiki/User:WD-WS_Integration_Bot

Can login to the pa.wikisource.org with the same user name and credentials.

But, cant login using the command line using pwb.py.

Getting the below error.

tools.wdwsbot@tools-sgebastion-07:~/pywikibot-core$ python3
/data/project/shared/pywikibot/stable/pwb.py login
