Hi there, I desperately need this tool to help groom 1500 imported SharePoint wiki pages in a private wiki. My setup is:

azureuser@aeran-linux-vm-002:~/pywikibot/core$ python pwb.py version
WARNING: Http response status 404
Pywikibot: pywikibot/__init__.py (, -1 (unknown), 2020/08/29, 01:01:30, n/a)
Release version: 4.2.0
requests version: 2.21.0
 cacerts: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

PYWIKIBOT_DIR: Not set
PYWIKIBOT_DIR_PWB:
PYWIKIBOT_NO_USER_CONFIG: 2
Config base dir: /home/azureuser/pywikibot/core

When I attempt to initialise pywikibot I get:

azureuser@aeran-linux-vm-002:~/pywikibot/core$ python pwb.py generate_user_files.py
Traceback (most recent call last):File "pwb.py", line 360, in <module>

    if code.lower() != code:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'
CRITICAL: Exiting due to uncaught exception <class 'AttributeError'>

Obviously something pretty fundamental with my install, but I'm at a loss.

No reply here or on #pywikibot, but I see that this is a bug (discovered after I posted) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261771

There is a fix in testing.

I have the same issues, I tried to debug code with no good result.

In file __init__.py in pywikibot/ at line 117 the code variable is set in None in

def Site(code=None, fam=None, user=None, sysop=None, interface=None, url=None):

but it's not manage None as value for code variable

I hope it will be solved quickly. :)
