Could You please provide information about You default site from user-config.py?
The only reason i can find for such error is that Your default page doesn't return wikibase information when asked for metadata or it return some information, but creation of data_repository is failing here.
Generally (assuming that You know Python) it fails because data_repository method is returning None (see: 1).
@Xqt, @jayvdb. @Mpaa, @Dalba, @valhallasw maybe we should raise some kind of error here (like NoSiteError or NoRepositoryError) instead of passing None and after that failing on AttributeError. That would make semantic sense here.
Which script are you running. What is the command line. Could you please file the whole traceback. A cannot reproduce this bug:
>>> import pwb, pywikibot as py >>> WbT = py.WbTime(year=2016, month=11) >>> WbT WbTime(year=2016, month=11, day=1, hour=0, minute=0, second=0, precision=10, before=0, after=0, timezone=0, calendarmodel=http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1985727) >>>
I am sorry, thank you for taking a look at it, it was my bad, I targeted a non-wikibase wiki with my user-config :(

AttributeError means that there was an Error that had to do with an Attribute request. In general, when you write x.y, y is the purported attribute of x. NoneType means that instead of an instance of whatever Class or Object you think you're working with, you've actually got None. That usually means that an assignment or function call up failed or returned an unexpected result.
mylist = mylist.sort()
The sort() method of a list sorts the list in-place, that is, mylist is modified. But the actual return value of the method is None and not the list sorted. So you've just assigned None to mylist. If you next try to do, say, mylist.append(1) Python will give you this error.
