Pywikibot on pythonanywhere

Hi, I have git cloned pywikibot (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot) to my account, but I am unable to run the scripts needed to login to and edit wikipedia. Is it because of free account restrictions? Thanks for a reply.

The Error msg is:

ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/Zef/core/pywikibot/comms/http.py", line 166, in request

You're allowed access to all subdomains of wikipedia.org from a free account, so I don't think it's that specifically. The error sounds like it's quite low down inside pywikibot, as if it's trying to reuse a connection incorrectly, or isn't reading everything from a request before it tries to move on to another (see this Stack Overflow post).

Is there any more in the error message?
