The python mwclient library installed on the Tool Labs grid was updated yesterday to v0.8.1. This version properly defaults to using HTTPS when connecting to the Wikimedia wikis. If you are running a long running process using this library you should restart to pick up the improved library.
On a related note, it seems that mwclient treats protocol relative URLs as http by default. Setting `scheme='https'` in the configuration changes the default. [0] Starting on 2016-06-12 non-HTTPS requests to Wikimedia wikis will be unsupported [1]. See Phabricator task T105794 [2] for more details.
