Original description:
I get the following errors when using a known good user-config.py and family configurations for an SVN checkout of 2009-11-05. This is for a local wiki.

Using 2010-03-09, I get the following error on Ubuntu 9.04 \(Python 2.6.2\) and Ubuntu 8.04 \(Python 2.5.2\):
Logging into FamilyName:en as UserName via API

Error downloading data: No JSON object could be decoded
Request: en:/scriptpath/api.php?
Retrying in 1 minutes.... \(I changed line 152 of query.py to retry\_idle\_time\*0.01 so I could see the dump without growing a beard first\)

Dump output:

Error reported: No JSON object could be decoded
127.0.0.1
/hcrscript/api.php?

\{"login":\{"result":"Success","lguserid":3,"lgusername":"UserName","lgtoken":"2b448df9379b445c225c0a5c1d3af18b","cookieprefix":"DatabaseName","sessionid":"3dd4cc3dd33236b57da8234d2f73e6d3"\}\}

on Ubuntu 9.04:

python version.py
Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r7983, 2010/03/09, 08:14:34\)
Python 2.6.2 \(release26-maint, April 19, 2009, 01:56:41\)
\[GCC 4.3.3\]

also broken on Ubuntu 8.04

python version.py
Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r7983, 2010/03/09, 08:14:34\)
Python 2.5.2 \(r252:60911, Jul 22 2009, 15:35:03\)
\[GCC 4.2.4 \(Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3\)\]

But it seems to work fine on this system:

foreignhost:pywikipedia-2010-03-09 alex$ python version.py
Pywikipedia \[http\] trunk/pywikipedia \(r7983, 2010/03/09, 08:14:34\)
Python 2.5.2 \(r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53\)
\[GCC 4.0.1 \(Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363\)\]

Any ideas what's happening?
