[01:08:42] <DominicBM>	 Anybody have any hints for using BotPasswords? I have tried simply copying the exact code in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login#Python with my account, and it returns "Unable to continue login. Your session most likely timed out." every time.
[01:12:30] <mutante>	 DominicBM: I think the most effective way to get that solved is either to create a ticket or to ask on a mailing list. Many more people will read it who are sleeping now and not realtime
[01:12:46] <mutante>	 sounds like something about persisting the cookie doesnt work or so
[01:12:58] <mutante>	 but since you are using the example code.. it's probably a bug
[01:14:09] <DominicBM>	 It's my first time attempting, so I wasn't assuming it was necessarily a bug. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce?
[01:14:58] <DominicBM>	 Or it's just outdated documentation, and someone knows the right way.
[01:15:09] <mutante>	 I'm sure they will. It's just that you need to get people to read it and for most of them it's like 4am
[01:15:27] <Platonides>	 DominicBM: I am trying
[01:17:12] <DominicBM>	 Thanks!
[01:18:00] <Platonides>	 ok, it works for me
[01:19:05] <Platonides>	 I just did a small edit to move the values out to variables
[01:19:07] <Platonides>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login/Sample_code_1#Python
[01:20:25] <Platonides>	 you should be able to use that code just changing the values of the first two variables
[01:24:20] <Platonides>	 that said, although it's not 4 am here
[01:24:31] <Platonides>	 it's nearly 3:30, so I'm going to disconnect
[01:24:57] <DominicBM>	 Okay, hm. I'm still confused, but retrying everything, I guess. I appreciate it. :/
[01:26:31] <Platonides>	 maybe you didn't copy the bot password in full?
[01:26:42] <Platonides>	 that would be tricky to notice
[01:27:25] <DominicBM>	 Would that not be a different error message?
[01:27:26] <Platonides>	 "Unable to continue" looks like not providing the token
[01:27:37] <Platonides>	 hmm I expect it would be, indeed
[01:28:06] <Platonides>	 anyway, you are going the right path
[01:28:17] <Platonides>	 first checking that it works with the know-to-work code
[01:29:53] <Platonides>	 night!
[01:49:19] <DominicBM>	 It seems to work in a fresh PAWS session with no other code. I think it's something about persisting the session across my Python code in this script, so problem is on my end somewhere.
[03:08:12] <DominicBM>	 Solved my problem. A third-party bug on the platform I was using. https://anvil.works/forum/t/preserving-session-cookies-between-http-requests/4552
