Even I myself am starting to familiari[sz]e myself with rewrite (I've been using trunk
all along).

Since xqt! is putting A LOT OF EFFORT into the project to finally
merge trunk with rewrite (at least the bot scripts), you should USE
REWRITE.
The only reasons not to do so are:
- - you started using trunk already some while ago
- - you need a function implemented in trunk already and have no time to
port it to rewrite by yourself (and nobody else is willing to do so)
Greetings and have fun with rewrite!

For our bot, we will be having normal functions like

sufficient for these functions). I have started coding with the

to port to Release??
It's mostly the backend code that is much cleaner in rewrite. As
such, it is much easier to add/extend functionality, which can be
useful with the changes that happen to wikidata - after all, the
entire infrastructure is still somewhat under development.
Although trunk development will not stop soon, I would suggest to
start new wikidata bots using rewrite, for the reasons above.
I am also concerned about the pace of development of the Rewrite
branch. From another thread, I have noticed about changes to
editEntity() to create items etc...
This is a change to the *wikidata api*. As an end-user of
pywikipedia - trunk or rewrite - you should not notice these
changes. As such, I am not sure why you connect this to 'the pace
of development of the Rewrite branch'.

We have no statistics on users but I think for

trunk is more widely used.
The reason is python2, at least for me :)
Could you elaborate on that? Unless you are running an ancient
version of python2 (<= 2.5), there should not be any problems
running rewrite.
