I have never worked with rewrite branch. Any chance someone could add support of claims with sources to the main branch?

Subject: [Pywikipedia-l] Wikidata implementation in rewrite branch

I just commited r11182[1] into rewrite branch, providing real Wikidata support, including claims and sources.

An example of how to use it:

>>> site = pywikibot.Site('en','wikipedia')
>>> page = pywikibot.Page(site, 'Douglas Adams')
>>> item = pywikibot.ItemPage.fromPage(page)
>>> data = item.get()
>>> item.labels['en']
u'Douglas Adams'
>>> item.claims
{u'p18': [Claim(Property:P18)], u'p19': [Claim(Property:P19)], u'p107': [Claim(Property:P107)], u'p31': [Claim(Property:P31)], u'p21': [Claim(Property:P21)]}
>>> item.claims['p107'][0].sources
[Claim(Property:P143)]
>>> item.claims['p107'][0].sources[0].target
ItemPage(Q169514)

Currently only read access is supported, I should have the write methods ready in a few days.
When getting sitelinks (item.sitelinks['enwiki']), you need to provide the site.dbName() rather than a standard site object due to issues with locked wikis (see my previous mail[2]).

One thing I was wondering about, should this be split into a separate file? pywikibot/wikibase.py? These are extension specific classes not-likely to be used by many wikis and will add a lot to page.py.

I'll update the onwiki documentation[3] soon as well.
