Suggestion: pywikipediabot has good built-in support. My attempt at building a simple parser (http://arctus.nl/~valhallasw/pulldom.py) is about 10 times slower than just using four (much more readable) lines of code:
import xmlreader
for page in xmlreader.XmlDump('/home/valhallasw/download/nlwikiquote-20090730-pages-articles.xml').parse(): if '{|' in page.text: print page.title
I sometimes am surprised of pywikipediabot myself :)
And... xmlreader is the only unit-tested part of pywikipediabot :)
