Hi Alex,
I'm not sure what you are proposing - what do you want to prune off,
exactly, and how is python-wikitools [1] related to this?
We already have 'a real "pywikipedia core" containing nothing but really
needed modules to run basics with personal scripts.' - it's called
pywikibot-core ;-). We do package scripts in the scripts/ subdirectory, but
they are completely seperate from the base framework.
Alternatively, if you want a smaller framework, there are some
alternatives: python-wikitools is one of them, but there's also mwclient
[2] and, for instance, Yuvi's python-mwapi, which is really close to the
API level.
Best,
Merlijn

While first comparing piwikipedia and wikitools,
I have been astonished
to see how much light and simple are scripts to run a bot and "do basic
things", ti: reading and writing pages, access to API, and so on.
I'll try - consider that I'm far from skilled or "professional" - to
prune off from pywikipedia any script but the basic ones, covered by
wikitools, just to have some personal fun; but I encourage developers to do
something similar, writing a real "pywikipedia core" containing nothing but
really needed modules to run basics with personal scripts.
I presume that the result will exclude 95% or more of present pwykipedia
content.
