The Pywikibot installation on PAWS is out of date and is in need of and update to make sure users can take advantage of all the bug fixes and features.
The installation seems to be pinned very specifically to the following so there might be more to it then simply bumping the version.
git+https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/pywikibot/core.git@71e36c1574454d9438deaac08754ee4484dc4797#egg=pywikibot
It's pinned to the stable tag. https://github.com/toolforge/paws/blob/f0362dfe2899ab00d0e8870b8967f942368a6874/images/singleuser/Dockerfile#L125
I need to figure out how to update the docker image.
See T217908 and I propose to decline this request. The stable tag should be used by default. The master branch is for development only.

By the way: The last stable release way deployed yesterday.

This is so convoluted.
@Xqt when pwb is installed with "pip install pywikibot" I get a more recent version. Is the PAWS pwb actually up to date? To me it looks like the docker file were initiated with the stable branch but might have gotten out of date.
Perhaps it just needs to update stable tag? (git fetch --tags)

Update: Oh, git pull --tags then. And maybe also add --force, it depends on git version though if force is necessary.
