Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mwcli' ↓

fix

Run 'pip install mwcli' and use the 'mwcli' command in your shell.

error mwcli: command not found ↓

cause The package is not installed or the script directory is not in PATH.

fix

Install with 'pip install mwcli' and ensure the Python scripts directory is in PATH.

Warnings

gotcha The library is in early alpha (v0.0.3). No stable API. Commands and options may change without notice. ↓

fix Pin version if using in scripts. Monitor GitHub for breaking changes.

gotcha No public Python API. Importing 'mwcli' in Python yields an empty module. All functionality is only available via command line. ↓

fix Use subprocess or shell to call mwcli commands; do not rely on Python imports.
