Created phabricator task.

I installed pywikibot on my Mac running macOS 10.12.4. But when I run a script, I get the following errors:

WARNING: Http response status 302

WARNING: Non-JSON response received from server testwiki:en; the server may be down.

WARNING: Waiting 5 seconds before retrying.

WARNING: Http response status 302

WARNING: Non-JSON response received from server testwiki:en; the server may be down.

WARNING: Waiting 10 seconds before retrying.

(and so on and so on)

I am running Python version 2.7.13

any help would be great thanks.

my wiki is running MediaWiki 1.28.2 on Debian 8. https is forced.

I really need help

Sounds like the API of your server is throwing errors. Have you checked the API is actually working ? Can you visit it's api.php endpoints ?

Yes. mydomain.com/api.php brings up the standard API help page.

I can alternately say that it works because Parsoid works, and if the API wasn't working than neither would VisualEditor.

I really would like to have this working ASAP.

If it's a private wiki, check if the configuration is set correctly for it - family file, etc. Don't forget also about user-config.py

It's not private, it's public.

You might want to enable logging or verbose mode: Manual:Pywikibot/Global_Options

The pywikibot community also runs mailinglists and an IRC channel that might be of use. Manual:Pywikibot/Communication
