This may not be working on PAWS. I haven't upgraded the config yet, though https://github.com/toolforge/paws/blob/a1499a64835649125696bc8c1cef6f06184f8519/paws/values.yaml#L305 should get it upgraded on pod restart. I'm getting:

@PAWS:~$ pwb.py --version
No module named 'requests'
@PAWS:~$ pip list | grep requests
requests                  2.28.2
requests-oauthlib         1.3.1

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2023-02-13T12:20:42Z] <Rook> pywikibot to version 8 16f07db23b6e380a15297605cbbb532f312a3246 T326512

Though it would appear only basic scripts are included in the pip install (version, login, a few others) so things like replace does not work.

It does seem that the git install works if prefaced with python such as:

@PAWS:/srv/paws/pwb$ pwb.py version
No module named 'requests'
@PAWS:/srv/paws/pwb$ python pwb.py version
Pywikibot: [https] r-pywikibot-core.git (c4403b4, g17789, 2023/02/09, 13:16:36, stable)
Release version: 8.0.0
...

python3 is a link to python (python3 is called in the pwb.py #!)

Looks like a relative path problem.

@PAWS:/srv/paws/pwb$ ls -l /srv/paws/bin/python3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 tools.paws tools.paws 16 Feb  8 17:45 /srv/paws/bin/python3 -> /usr/bin/python3
@PAWS:/srv/paws/pwb$ /usr/bin/python3 pwb.py version
No module named 'requests'
@PAWS:/srv/paws/pwb$ /srv/paws/bin/python3 pwb.py version
Pywikibot: [https] r-pywikibot-core.git (c4403b4, g17789, 2023/02/09, 13:16:36, stable)
Release version: 8.0.0

Probably the pwb.py #! change, in 7.7.2 it is:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
in 8.0.0 it became:
#!/usr/bin/python3

This should be fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/pywikibot/core/+/889233

@Xqt: Would you create a new pywikibot release so we can get PAWs updated?

https://github.com/toolforge/paws/pull/260 switches back to a git install and adds a hack to workaround the pwb.py shebang issue.

@JJMC89 It's still building so I haven't tested it yet, but how does https://github.com/toolforge/paws/pull/261 look to you? I've revert all of the changes I made going to 8 and added your sed in to get it working. It should list you as an author of the commit

It should work. I don't know why you prefer a full clone and installation from a hacked requirements file over the method in my PR.
