mwklient (forked from mwclient v0.9.3) is a lightweight Python client library to the MediaWiki API which provides access to most API functionality.
It works with Python 3.5+ and supports MediaWiki API 1.16+,
for functions not available in the current MediaWiki, a MediaWikiVersionError is raised.
The original project mwclient is still active and supports Python 2.7 too. mwklient is forked from the version 0.9.3 of mwclient and wraps some more api_calls (see next section). Moreover, it will support default error handlers for the most common calls (more details in next commits). Finally, it has a MIT license as well as the original mwclient.
The current stable version 0.1.0 is available through PyPI:
$ pip install mwklient
Up-to-date documentation is hosted at Read the Docs. It includes a user guide to get started using mwclient, a reference guide, implementation and development notes.
Patches and PR are welcome! Consider also contributing to the original repo. The current development version can be easily installed from GitHub, simply cloning the repo:
$ pip install git+git://github.com/lrusso96/mwklient.git
In order to test your edits, build an editable version with the command:
$ pip install -e .
Finally, if you want to run tests, do
