Hi Larry,
ad 2.
yes. use -cat:categoryName or -catr:categoryName as generator.

look in pagegenarators.py script. It gives all generators you can use when starting script.

Hi Larry,

there are two way to use Pywikibot as a side package:
1. add a user-config.py in your /variant folder. A minimal sample can be found 
at 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/pywikibot/core/+/88f22977fd186d888c4d9e8cbac11d76e87bd607/user-config.py.sample
2. or set a PYWIKIBOT_NO_USER_CONFIG environment variable to 1 or 2 to ignore 
user-config settings

The pwb.py script wrapper (as well as the generate_... scripts are available in 
directory mode only. You can get it including predefined scripts from nightly 
https://pywikibot.toolforge.org/ or as git repository from gerrit or from 
github clone https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot

Adding pwb.py and generate_user_files.py/generate_family_file.py to side 
oackage is still under development 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/560057

Seem our documentation is insufficient, sorry for that. If you have further 
questions do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the reply - this was very helpful. A couple more questions:

1. Is there any way to login with MFA? Our wiki requires either
choosing a number from an authenticator app or using a userid and
password and then entering a code which was texted.

2. Is there a way to get all pages within a category?

Thanks!
Larry

We have an internal wiki and I want to use pywikibot to get some data
from it. Installed it from pip but when I import it I get:

import pywikibot

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pywikibot/__init__.py",

    base_dir = get_base_dir()

line 367, in get_base_dir
    raise RuntimeError(exc_text)
RuntimeError: No user-config.py found in directory '/vagrant'.

Looking here 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Installation#Configure_Pywikibot

I see a reference to pwb.py, but that does not exist in
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pywikibot.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!
