The login information should be specified in a file called user-config.py. This can have various elements, but the most common are (using # for comments as is usual in Python) family = 'wikipedia' # Or whatever family your bot will (mainly) run on) mylang = 'en' # idem for the language usernames['wikipedia']['en'] = "MyNameBot" It is possible to store passwords in a file, but I myself prefer to run login.py -all -pass:pwd with your bot account's password instead of 'pwd'. This will try to login to all accounts using that password. After that you won't have to think about passwords any more for a long time, because pywikipediabot remembers cookies, and thus remains logged on. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
