Last I looked at Pywikipedia the design was horribly broken - don'trecall details exactly, but it was really really painful to try andextend or enhance it in any way. Putting up a simple Ruby-bot that dida better job was a matter of hours. Using some of the high-level HTTPautomation libs that exist it should be even faster, and verymaintainable if you put some thought into it.
Duplicating effort is the right way to go at times. :)
