also you can use xmlreader and read dumps of wikidata.

Hi, no to my knowledge it is not possible with pywikibot because Wikidata itself cannot do that atm (it will be possible when simple queries will be on line on Wikidata) but it is possible using another service like wdq, from Magnus Manske: http://wikidata-wdq-mm.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/
True. However, as P214 is a property with string type, you cannont use the neat query-click interface but have to use the API of WikidataQuery.
For your problem, this would be http://wikidata-wdq-mm.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/api?q=string%5B214 :"5726988"]
giving the resulting item list [3300924].
If you additionally want to modify the resulting items with pywikibot: A page generator for pywikibot which takes such query strings and work on the resulting item list is currently under review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/118698/

Is there a way with pywikibot to find out, given a certain value for a Property, which Item has that particular Property value? Better with a practical case. Given P214 (VIAF data), I want to know who has P214 set to 5726988. E.g.: how to find out that Item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3300924 has P214=5726988? Thanks for your help.
