I ran "python category.py" to rename one category to another. For articles containing <includeonly> and <noinclude> statements, pywikipedia made incorrect changes. When renaming category B to category C, the text:

<includeonly>[[Category:A]]</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:B]]</noinclude>

becomes:

<includeonly></includeonly><noinclude></noinclude> [[Category:C]]

In other words, it completely removed category A, and when renaming category B, placed the new category tag outside the noinclude tags.

This wrecked a complicated category structure.
