With this settings in user_config.py: usernames['wikipedia']['*'] = u'Mpaa' cannot login, while it can with: usernames['wikipedia']['en'] = u'Mpaa' The try clause in login.py fails because self.site.code is 'en' and not '*'. KeyError is raised (BTW it should be except KeyError ....) try: self.username = config.usernames[ self.site.family.name][self.site.code] except: raise NoUsername(u"""\ ERROR: Username for %(fam_name)s:%(wiki_code)s is undefined. If you have an account for that site, please add a line to user-config.py: usernames['%(fam_name)s']['%(wiki_code)s'] = 'myUsername'""" % {'fam_name': self.site.family.name, 'wiki_code': self.site.code})
Might not be a bug if this sentences in user_cong.py/cinfig2.py are not True ... # The dictionary usernames should contain a username for each site where you # have a bot account. If you have a unique username for all languages of a # family , you can use '*' or # If you have a unique username for all languages of a family, # you can use '*'
