TASK DESCRIPTIONI just upgraded pywikibot from quite an old version (from around 2014), worked for a day or so just fine, and then (I guess the cookie expired), login doesn't work any more.
What I usually did:
do edits from the bot normally. From time to time, it requested the password. I typed it in, and it went on merrily for at least a couple weeks.
After the update (running [https] r-pywikibot-core.git (d21ee03, g7381, 2016/08/04, 08:27:53, n/a) on Linux. Tried with two systems. One, running python 2.7.3; the other, an up-to-date Ubuntu running python 2.7-12:
when I try to do a Page.put, I get the following errors:

CRITICAL: Closing network session.
If I type the wrong password, it just keeps asking for it. It only crashes when I enter the right password.
On the fresh install, I tried just the minimum:
install from git
create user-config.py with the generate_user_files.py utility.
python pwb.py login
enter password
I get:

This is completely reproducible, at least with my user. I find it impossible to login and I've tried two systems: the one where I usually do all the work, and a fresh install in an up-to-date Ubuntu.
