super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

When trying to scrape a wiki, I get the following error: 40 namespaces found Retrieving titles in the namespace 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "dumpgenerator.py", line 2572, in main() File "dumpgenerator.py", line 2564, in main createNewDump(config=config, other=other) File "dumpgenerator.py", line 2133, in createNewDump getPageTitles(config=config, session=other['session']) File "dumpgenerator.py", line 391, in getPageTitles for title in titles: File "dumpgenerator.py", line 261, in getPageTitlesAPI site = mwclient.Site(apiurl.netloc, apiurl.path.replace("api.php", ""), scheme=apiurl.scheme, pool=session) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\mwclient\client.py", line 169, in init self.pages = listing.PageList(self) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\mwclient\listing.py", line 242, in init super(PageList, self).init(site, 'allpages', 'ap', TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

What version of mwclient do you have? How did you install it?

[BotJohn]

0.11, installed via pip.

Same error, any help?

[Anonymous3-a]

Ok, try this: run pip --force-reinstall "mwclient==0.10". It's not giving the error now, it seems like it's working?

Faced same issue. The below solved. pip install "mwclient==0.10"

The --force-reinstall command just returns an error, but the install command @agnelvishal replied with works.
