[Pywikipedia-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T142155: Bot can't login. keyError in GetCookie

Using OAuth with Pywikibot is documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/OAuth, maybe we need to publicize that more?

Hack to make Pywikibot work on Wikimedia wikis once cookieprefix is dropped:

diff --git a/pywikibot/data/api.py b/pywikibot/data/api.py

             if login_result['login']['result'] == "Success":

                     cookies.append("%s%s=%s"

Haven't tested that, nor dropping that code entirely. I wouldn't be surprised if this code was entirely obsolete and not necessary.
