Summary: interwiki.py empties category page with templates
Initial Comment:
Operating on category pages, when zh:Category: need to be modified to zh:分类: and there is
a template in category page, interwiki.py seems to remove all the contents of the page.

hello, thanks for the report.
Your version of pywikipedia is one month old. Current revision number is
r6695, meaning that more than one hundred changes were done to the
framework in the meantime.
The zh: Category namespace name, in particular, have been updated since.
By the way an edit like
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Painters&diff=283488…
does not seem correct to me: [[zh:分类:画家]] is as valid as
[[zh:Category:画家]], I don't see why we'd need a _standalone_ edit to
change the namespace name. It's okay to normalize namespaces when adding or
modifying content; it's not okay to edit just to change a namespace name.
