Simple reason: WHY? It is NOT NEEDED at all!!!
You need an internet connection to get pywikibot anyway, so where is
the problem? You also need an internet connection to use pywikibot, so
again...
But as explained it might cause problems, e.g. if somebody comes to
the idea to change the code there instead of upstream in BS... (as we
already encountered in the past) So we want to blow up our repo with
unneeded redundant code... for what use? (ok "blow up" might be too
hard for 80KB... ;)
And I always hear just OPPINIONS but NO ARGUMENTS (the ones I heard
were solved quite some time ago) - I did not invent this becuase of my
oppinion BUT beacuse I had to solve a problem... fine - if you want to
run into the same problem first and then come back crying - feel free
to do so... but do not count on my assistance...
I wanted to make OUR code and bot better and not clumpsy, heavy and
full of waste... but do whatever you want, since I got my repo on labs
now - I can also switch back to my old system and stop commiting code
upstream, if I need to... I will have to decide this later...
Of course there will always be a missmatch of oppinions - but
ARGUMENTS are a lot more important. If you want to just ignore them
and repeat the same (noteably wrong statements like "needs patch.exe"
or "needs admin rights") over and over again and also ignore the
effort someone is putting into it to sort the problem out... feel free
to continue doing so, but I can invest my time into more useful things.
Have a nice day!

Just a thought about that; might it be possible that we have a
philosophy mismatch between win (xqt, ...) and linux (me, ...)
users? Might it be possible that win users want to have
"everything" included whereas linux useres are used to have
independent packages with dependencies between them?
If this is the problem, what about having averything included e.g.
in the nightly release? I do have no idea about how nightly works
and whether this is already the case? This release would then be
100MB but as used from python "with batteries
included".
No. It's a mismatch between 'have everything needed for basic
functionality in one package' versus 'it's OK if something has to
be downloaded later'. Your packaging system is very useful for
packages that are only needed for a few scripts, but I really don't
understand why you so desperately want BeautifulSoup to *not* be
included by default. It's needed for basic usage of bots and it's
only 80KB (compared to almost 20M for the rest of the framework).
