attribute does not work while creating a site

Initial Comment:
Creating a site with instance attribute does not always work as expected.
Calling the framework without installing keeps the APIsite:

...
 >> r = wp.getSite('wikidata',
'wikidata', interface='DataSite')
>> r
 Site("wikidata", "wikidata")
...
 >> type(r)
 <class 'pywikibot.site.APISite'>

but it works right with internal use:
...
 >> s = wp.Site('de',
'wikipedia')
>> s
 Site("de", "wikipedia")
...
 >> r = s.data_repository()
>> r
 DataSite("wikidata", "wikidata")
...
 >> type(r)
 <class 'pywikibot.site.DataSite'>
...
 >> type(s)
 <class 'pywikibot.site.APISite'>

where site,data_repository() returns:

return pywikibot.Site(code, fam, self.username(),
                                  interface="DataSite")

Installing the framework fails with that internal use, see
