The script included in scripts/login.py occasionally fails silently. Until that is fixed, the following workaround can help:
This sets the PYWIKIBOT2_DIR environment variable before importing pywikibot.
import os
os.environ['PYWIKIBOT2_DIR'] = '/dir/that/contains/user-config.py/'
import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.Site()
if not site.logged_in():
site.login() # If you've never logged in before, it may prompt you for a password
