Script returns No user is logged in on site in Pywikibot 7.2.0

Question

Recently I decided to update Pywikibot to version 7 since the legacy API had been deprecated in Fandom wiki. Far from solving the issue, I ended up bashing my head with "No user is logged in" error instead. I had user-config.py and the credentials configured correctly according to the latest Pywikibot documentation.

Do you want to accept these changes? ([y]es, [N]o): y

Here's the script I intended to run: https://github.com/HydroKirby/FKGProcessing/blob/master/src/update_lists.py

The update_lists.py script looks wrong. Line 38 contains

except pywikibot.LockedPage:

but it should be

except pywikibot.exceptions.LockedPageError:

since Pywikibot 7. You have to login first. There is a login.py script which can be used: https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/stable/utilities/scripts_ref.html#module-pywikibot.scripts.login. If you are using Pywikibot as a site-package you have to update your bot to release 7.4 and call this script:

pwb.exe login

For previous Pywikibot releases 7.0 you can use:

pwb.exe shell
>>> site = pywikibot.Site()
>>> site.login()

The latter also works with IDLE or as a script but you have to

import pywikibot

first.

Refer the documentation for parameters which are available for Siteconstructor function and loginmethod:
