I think I will be trying pywikipedia. It's not just this batch of ~35, but 100+ more that I also have from Hiroshima, maybe some more from Taiwan, and additional batches that I may have in the future. Overnight, I let Commonist run. It seems to have transferred everything, but failed on the last step -- creating galleries or something.
