Description:
Getting:
ERROR: Upload error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "scripts/upload.py", line 214, in upload_image
  ignore_warnings=self.ignoreWarning)
File "/root/mybot/core/pywikibot/site.py", line 3246, in upload
  raise ValueError("APISite.upload: cannot upload file without "

ValueError: APISite.upload: cannot upload file without a summary/description.

Even with -noverify I get the same error. And if I try to change the desc I get: Could not load GUI modules: No module named gui and the error from above!

Neither there is a standard module gui nor an external library is included in the framework.

Regarding gui, that is bug 68645. You can set 'editor=vi' in your config to work around that bug, or 'editor=notepad' for Windows users :P.

It definitely needs to provide a nicer set of errors. If Site.upload() requires a summary, then upload.py should get one from the user before calling Site.upload()

$ python pwb.py -family:wikidata -lang:wikidata scripts/upload.py
