Noticed one of my scripts failing because I tried to

This fails:
myCat = pywikibot.Category(mySite, "Wikipedia:Globalt
perspektiv-samtliga");
The error is:
ValueError: 'Wikipedia:Globalt perspektiv-samtliga' is not in the
category namespace!
That should fail; it would equally fail if you tried
myCat = pywikibot.Category(mySite, "Garbage")
since "Garbage" is not in the Category namespace. In other words, the fact
that the category title starts with "Wikipedia:" has nothing to do with it.
However, this should work:
myCat = pywikibot.Category(mySite, "Kategori:Wikipedia:Globalt
perspektiv-samtliga");
Creating it as a page with namespace set to 14 results
in:
>> myPage = pywikibot.Page(mySite,
'Wikipedia:Globalt
perspektiv-samtliga', ns=14);
>> print myPage.title();
Wikipedia:Globalt perspektiv-samtliga
>> print myPage.namespace();

The title's namespace overrides the given option, which itsn't what I
would
expect.
That one does seem like a bug. The namespace number ought to match the
actual title. I'll investigate further.
