Summary: Bug in wikipedia.py and corresponding fix
Initial Comment:
I am using snapshot 2007-06-19.
There is a bug in wikipedia.py. Function setSite() is just setting local variables, that are never used again.
Original:
def setSite(site):
    default_code = site.language
    default_family = site.family
I think it should affect the global variables with the same name (that's what I need in a script that should work on several different wikis and compare their contents). 
In addtion default_code is a string, not a function-object. So my fixed version of setSite() looks as follows:
def setSite(site):
    global default_code, default_family
    default_code = site.language()
    default_family = site.family
