@Shizhao could You retest it? I've just got tools lab access and and without more then

export PYTHONPATH=/shared/pywikipedia/core:/shared/pywikipedia/core/externals/httplib2:/shared/pywikipedia/core/scripts

I was able to

from pywikibot.specialbots import UploadRobot

Today retest, still ImportError

Could You, please, provide more details here?

It's working for me. My successful path looks like:

I have requested Tools Labs account here.
I uploaded my ssh key as described here.
After these steps I was able to login to ssh magul@login.tools.wmflabs.org.
I edited my .bash_profile file. The whole content of it looks like:

export PYTHONPATH=/shared/pywikipedia/core:/shared/pywikipedia/core/externals/httplib2:/shared/pywikipedia/core/scripts

I need to relogin to load new .bash_profile settings to shell.
After relogin command echo $PYTHONPATH returned:

/shared/pywikipedia/core:/shared/pywikipedia/core/externals/httplib2:/shared/pywikipedia/core/scripts

I starting python and executing commands (with output):

Is Your rutine here somehow different?

No reply to T151850#2853024 for nearly a month hence removing "Unbreak Now!" priority.

Closing it as invalid, because there were no activity for over a month from @Shizhao and I was not able to reproduce it.
