Steps to replicate the issue
- Configure a family that points to an invalid domain or a server that's down, and set it as the default family (in user-config.py)
- Invoke a script with only the -help parameter. Example:
python3 pwb.py scripts/delete.py -help
What happens?:

The help information of the script should be displayed, instead of an error because it failed to connect to a remote wiki.
This wasn't happening a while ago.
