Subject: xmlreader requires internet connection
Original description:
Since this is solely for reading local xml files must be, somehow, separated from "import wikipedia as pywikibot". Every attempt to use it, requires login to any wiki. It can not be used to generate anything based solely on xml backups. Debugging such non-"logining" "bots" is very difficult.
Version: compat-(1.0)
Severity: normal
