Pywikibot itself internally uses wikitext almost entirely. Now I don't know what Flow internally uses, but when we are going to support HTML it should send the HTML to the server which parses it back into wikitext.
Flow internally uses Parsoid HTML on the WMF setup (which we also use locally); the version storing wikitext internally is not actively used by developers (though Jenkins uses it). Sending HTML to the server is fine for the Parsoid/store HTML setup. Sending either wikitext or HTML to the server is supported when Flow is using Parsoid.

Pywikibot should be able to interface with wikitext-only Flow instances.
Maybe, if we don't drop Parsoid support. However, I don't consider this a hard requirement for the summer GSOC.
