Summary: Support for Wikimedia Labs and Toolserver
Initial Comment:
1. Source directory repositiory
Split pywikipedia source and user config/script. See also https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource_Talk:Bots#Pywikipediabot
Currently, pywikipedia imports(or includes) other file from (1) source code directory (2) current working directory (3) pywikipedia environment, depends on code. How about to support PYWIKIPEDIA_HOME or similar environment for source code repository.
2. Local mysql mirror support.
In WMLabs and toolserver, access of wikipedia mirror is available. Page.get() and pagegenerators can be use this information. (BTW, Page.put() should work to original site, not mirrors). It can be also useful for other mediawiki installs if admin runs some pywikipedia-based script (e.g. replace.py) for his own database.

Message:
#1: This is implemented in the rewrite branch, you just set the
PYWIKIBOT2_DIR variable to where your user-config is.
#2: I think this would be an interesting layer to add onto pywikipedia.
Probably can be done with a "MysqlSite" or something, since all queries
should get routed through that. DB access doesn't mean you have page text
access, so it isn't *that* useful.
