That doesn't make sense. I can't find any catlib reference in the current version of the repository:

https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=catlib

As you can see also line 357 doesn't contain a catlib entry:

https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/scripts/interwiki.py#L357

That statement:

never has existed in core, as catlib doesn't exist there,
has been removed in compat in this revision: https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-compat/commit/fcaa349e54e7850e555b878d7b9f5aa0b6edbd7c

So you probably copied an ancient revision of compat interwiki.py into d:\py\rewrite or d:\py\rewrite\scripts.

A bit of nitpick: In core is a catlib.py in pywikibot/compat/catlib.py. But it is just there for backwards compatibility and isn't used by anything (git grep catlib).

I found duplicate old interwiki.py in the same directory as pwb.py - bot takes this first instead of scripts/interwiki.py

Now I can run script, but some new errors.
