SOLVED! The problem is with OpenSSL (!). This was the error message thrown: sl.SSLError: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION] tlsv1 alert protocol version (_ssl.c:645) and I found the solution on StackOverflow. Older versions of Python are using an older library of OpenSSL. The https now normal for wikia.org or Fandom will only deal with the newer TLS 1.2 protocol. Installing OpenSSL won't help. Upgrading pip dies. But there is now a version of Python 2.7.16 that DOES have the new OpenSSL library. So I downloaded and installed 2.7.16 on my Mac, updated pip, and now lo and behold, I can log my bot back in again!
