Summary: Edit Pages through API
Initial Comment:
I had completed to make wikipedia.py.page()._putPage() can put pages through API,(in the
patch file) but It's too big. I need someone to help debug it.
Some error code cannot handle like server database lag... etc

Message:
Yes, that is the plan. The major obstacle at this point is that the API
does not yet support querying most special pages (like
Special:DoubleRedirects) so that bots that rely on these pages cannot be
ported to the rewrite framework.

@russblau: Does the new rewrite branch will replace current trunk in the

Message:
Alex: Are you reading pywikipedia-l? I will not review this patch, because
you are wasting your time by adding API capabilities to the trunk instead
of working on the rewrite branch that already uses the API.
