Summary: setitem for wikidata doesn't work!
Initial Comment:
I used this code
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import wikipedia,login
summary=u'آبشار لاتون,آبشار لاتون'
site=wikipedia.getSite('fa',fam='wikipedia')
fapage=wikipedia.Page(site,u'آبشار_لاتون')
data=wikipedia.DataPage(fapage)
list=data.get()
id=list['entity'].replace('q','')
data = wikipedia.DataPage(site.data_repository(), "Q"+id)
data.setitem(summary,items={'type': u'item', 'label':
'glk', 'value':u'آبشار_لاتون'})
data.setitem(summary,items={'type': u'sitelink', 'site':
'glk', 'title':u'آبشار_لاتون_(بارزاو)'})
it shows
Updating page [[wikidata:Q5058182]] via API
Updating page [[wikidata:Q5058182]] via API
but it doesn't update the page!
also please add
def getIdFromPage(data)
id=data.get() ['entity'].replace('q','')
return id
and add
data = DataPage(site.data_repository(), "Q"+id)
to first line of setitem()

Yes
in my opinion code should be like below (as you said in last comment) and
before DataPage() library should load myData by itself without other lines!
(minimal code) and this loading could be done in setitem()
myPage = wikipedia.Page(wikipedia.getSite(), 'Helium')
myData = wikipedia.DataPage(myPage)
content = {...}
myData.setitem('changing an item', content) # put it to the web

Message:
What does you meen with .get is not necessary? For getting a content,
create an object and assign it to an alias:
# rewrite branch
myPage = wikipedia.Page(wikipedia.getSite(), 'Helium')
content = myPage.text
myPage.text = u'This is a new content'
myPage.put() # put it to the web
# trunk release
myPage = wikipedia.Page(wikipedia.getSite(), 'Helium')
content = myPage.get()
content = u'This is a new content'
myPage.put(content) # put it to the web
# wikidata
myData = wikipedia.DataPage(1234)
entity = myData.get()
content = {...}
myData.setitem('changing an item', content) # put it to the web
In all three samples you do not need to call the getter. But for that case
you derived a DataPage from a Page object you have explicit to retrieve the
data from the repository site before you can put any data back. Ok I guess
you expect something like this should be possible:
myPage = wikipedia.Page(wikipedia.getSite(), 'Helium')
myData = wikipedia.DataPage(myPage)
content = {...}
myData.setitem('changing an item', content) # put it to the web
Am I right?

Message:
when we write
my_data = wp.DataPage(p)
my_data should contained item!
now for loading data to my_data we shod type .get() or .exist() which are
not necessary

Message:
in this report I don't want to make an item!
I know about making an item amir solved it in last report
(
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/pywikipedia/11103)
Now I want update an item with wikipedia.py
for updating an item we should call data object with .get() or .exists() or
other functions to let wikipedia.py load that data object and it is not
good because user should write 4 lines in every part of his code
you can add these lines to library to not repeating.
for setitem() you can add
if d.exists():
pass # pass or doing next lines
else:
print 'page not exist do you want creat it? '# or it can call creatitem()
function if user allowed bot to create not existed item
for createitem() you can add
if d.exists():
print 'page exists so creating process is aborted?'# or we can ask user do
you want overwrite?
else:
pass # pass or doing next lines
it should be done by library not users. because minimal coding is much
better than writing repeated lines!
if I want to create or edit an item I should add these 4 lines to my code
but if they are inside wikipedia.py we don't need to write them.
it makes easy for coding . now calling .get() or .exists() is tricky
and every user don't know and they will have problem with this!

Message:
There are two ways doing that task creating an item; i'll explain it with a
pseudocode:
1st:
repo = repository(localpage)
try: repo.createitem()
except itemExistError: print repo.title(), 'already exist'
2st:
repo = repository(localpage)
if not repo.exists(): repo.createitem()
else: print repo.title(), 'allready exits'
I prefer the last one. Look at this sample:
>> import wikipedia as wp
>> p = wp.Page('de', 'Helium')
>> d = wp.DataPage(p)
>> d
DataPage{[[wikidata:None]]}
>> d.exists()
True
>> d
DataPage{[[wikidata:Q560]]}
>>
This means you does not need to call DataPage.get() you may also use
DataPage.exists() for this test.

Message:
No! it is not correct !
now user should write
try:
gett=data.get()
except:
some thing to do (may be saying error)
Instead of these four lines library should tell user that item doesn't
exist so code should switch to create a new item.

The line is not useless. If the item doesn't exist you will have an error
instead of doing nothing

Message:
we can load or get data inside setitem()
it is not normal that we type a code that it's variable ( gett=data.get()
) doesn't need! (visually)
it is logic that users only type this code
site=wikipedia.getSite('fa',fam='wikipedia')
fapage=wikipedia.Page(site,u'آبشار_لاتون')
data=wikipedia.DataPage(fapage)
data.setitem(summary,items={'type': u'item', 'label':
'glk','value':u'آبشار_لاتون'})
Library should be let user to type minimal code.

I tested it and it worked:
http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q5058182&diff=prev&oldid=…
We have showing problem. the code works well
I think xqt means if you run this way the showing problem will be solved.
something like this notice i just add one line:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import wikipedia,login
summary=u'test bot'
site=wikipedia.getSite('fa',fam='wikipedia')
fapage=wikipedia.Page(site,u'آبشار_لاتون')
data=wikipedia.DataPage(fapage)
gett=data.get()
data.setitem(summary,items={'type': u'item', 'label':
'glk',
'value':u'آبشار_لاتون'})
data.setitem(summary,items={'type': u'sitelink', 'site':
'glk',
'title':u'آبشار_لاتون_(بارزاو)'})

Message:
This error looks like you haven't made a DataPage.get() before you tried to
update the page. In this cas the title is None as shown. If you recreate
the datapage with the entity id you make a explicit get call to retrieve
the items data. But this will be enough to get the data's id i.e. the
DataPage.title().

Message:
You don't need to create the DataPage a second time with the 'entity' item.
Look at this sample which shows that data == d but they are different
objects in this sample:
>> import wikipedia as wp
>> s = wp.getSite()
>> p = wp.Page(s, 'Helium')
>> d = wp.DataPage(p)
>> i = d.get()
>> t = i['entity'].title()
>> data = wp.DataPage(s.data_repository(), t)
>> data
DataPage{[[wikidata:Q560]]}
>> d
DataPage{[[wikidata:Q560]]}
>> d is data
False
>> d == data
True
>>

Thank you now it works.
please add these tree lines to setitem()
list=data.get()
id=list['entity'].replace('q','')
data = wikipedia.DataPage(site.data_repository(), "Q"+id)
now we should write these tree lines for every DataPage()
