For various reasons I can't use login.py to log me in so I was wondering if anyone knew code so that I could log in to Wikipedia with my script without running a separate script? Cheers!

A:
The answer is going to be simple: you can't use pywikipedia without being able to run login.py.
That file not only provides a nice User-interface to try your configuration: it contains all the authentication primitives that we use in the framework to log in. Without logging-in, you can't do much, so no.
If you want a more helpful answer, you'll have to be more precise: as in, why you can't use login.py, and what operations you do need to do with Pywikipedia.
