Manual talk:Pywikibot/Basic use

Longer lists
I get the impression that the longer lists of parameters at Copyright.py and Replace.py also have a lot of general parameters. if so, they could be added here. (Took me ages to find an explanation of the "start:" parameter, and the use of "namespace:", so a more complete page general parameters would be great.)

Error at running login.py
I installed pywikibot August 5, 2014. But I have stumbled at running login.py. I was wondering if anybody could help me. my OS is Windows7.

> cd pywikibot.core > python login.py python: can't open file 'login.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

> cd pywikibot.core > python scripts\login.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts\login.py", line 58, in    import pywikibot ImportError: No module named pywikibot

> cd pywikibot.core > cd scripts > python login.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "login.py", line 58, in    import pywikibot ImportError: No module named pywikibot


 * Finally,
 * > python pwb.py login.py
 * It worked.

I'm having a similar error message when trying to log in for the first time: $ python login.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "login.py", line 20, in    import pywikibot ImportError: No module named pywikibot

Can anyone help please? 129.78.56.196 06:25, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
 * anyone help me. Im also getting this message--Maathavan (talk) 11:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, the "no module named pywikibot" error suggests you don't have the $PYTHONPATH variable set properly.
 * In a Linux environment $ echo $PYTHONPATH should yield something like: /home/yourusername/pywikibot/core
 * Hope the above helps. Steinlaus (talk) 04:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
