Original description: If I run login.py -all I get for every language:Should be logged in now but every time I start a new robot command \(like for example to move a category\) it asks for my password again. I also tried this on an ubuntu pc with python 2.7.2 but same result. Here is my version.py: Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r10103, 2012/04/10, 07:18:22\) Python 2.6.6 \(r266:84292, Dec 27 2010, 00:02:40\) \[GCC 4.4.5\] config-settings: use\_api = True use\_api\_login = True
Could you try login.py -all -force please. This should delete old files and force login with new data.
Please post your user-config.py. Specifically, check if your nickname starts with a capital letter.
- **priority**: 7 --> 5
It was the capital letter problem, it's fixed now. Maybe a FR can be to show a warning when logging in if this problem is triggered?
# C:\Pywikipedia>login.py # Password for user AbshirBot on wikipedia:so # No characters will be shown:********* # Logging in to wikipedia:so as AbshirBot via API. # Should be logged in now # # C:\Pywikipedia>welcome.py # Querying new user log from API.... # [Skip ] User been created automatically. # [Skip ] User been created automatically. # [Skip ] User has been created automatically. # [NoAct] User Mohamed Ahmed has no contributions. # [Skip ] User has been created automatically. # [Match] User has enough edits to be welcomed. # Password for user AbshirBot on wikipedia:so # No characters will be shown: # Password for user AbshirBot on wikipedia:so # No characters will be shown: # Logging in to wikipedia:so as AbshirBot via API. Could someone help me what i told the above, the problem is every time I log in my User-Bot still requires the password if I continue to rewrite password, my IP address be recorded publicly visible in [[so:Special:RecentChanges]] as someone who is not registered. Please, tell me things that I can do. Thanks....
This might be due to the login issue described in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.pywikipediabot.general/13839
