It's a mess with the location of pwb documentation. We have several places but where is the right one?
we have the old place meta since 2005: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot?uselang=de but also mediawiki since 2005 which is corresponding to mw software itself: http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Pywikipediabot&dir=prev&l... Also wikibooks gives us http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Pywikibot Guess when it was created. All 3 versions are quite similar. And you can find a lot of other manuals and guids all over the world, most of them are deprecated in parts.

I don't think anyone is actively maintaining documentation at the moment. I am inclined to state that 'the code' is the only maintained documentation.
In addition to the places you mentioned, there is botwiki [1], and most wikipedias have some sort if introduction to pywikipedia in their own language. Meta also has pages in different languages...
Also problematic: people asking for help on the talk pages, as I don't think anyone actually reads them. Meh.

I think we should setup a new MediaWiki install, (doesn't someone have pywikipedia.org or something registered?) and use that to maintain documentation, then we can just get rid of all the ancient unmaintained stuff, and not have to spend hours picking out the good stuff from that haystack...

Good question! I wonder myself several times... ;))
What about a doxygen docu in the first place? E.g. like: http://toolserver.org/~drtrigon/doc/DrTrigonBot/html/
