so my question is: what is the most direct access for:

if there is no other possibility i can also access the the editing- pages in wikipedia and extract the source of a page from there, but i hope there is also an other way!
There's pywikipediabot which should be able to do anything you want. no need to write something new
yes i know, but i cannot speak python (yet) ;) and i what to write the bot in php, i know php well... does anyone know here how does pywikipediabot accesses to the source code?
There is no API, it's just as a browser would, through HTTP.
