site.allpages(prefix="Did you know nominations/", namepsace=10, total=10) is the equivalent of PrefixIndex, but it doesn't support ordering by creation.

site.search('intitle:"^Did you know nominations/"', namespaces=10, sort="create_timestamp_desc", total=10) is probably close to what you want.

Hmmm,   Looking through the source, I see PrefixingPageGenerator(), which is sort of what I want, but doesn't seem to support the various options like sorting by creation date, which I need to do, i.e. I only want to get the N most recently created pages.

But that's a web page.  I'm looking for something I can call in a Python script as a function.

You don't need a search to get the subpages - there's a special page[1] providing links to all subpages:

I want to find all the subpages of [[Template:Did you know nominations]] on enwiki.  I think I want to use Site.search(), but I can't get my head around the docs.  The pywiki doc page points me to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search which implies I need to be constructing a CirusSearch query string, and after that I'm stuck.
