The comment about WMF labs makes me want to kill
kittens. Pywikipedia
supports a lot of other projects besides the WMF. Your POV lacks
perspective.

uninstalled it completely. From Eclipse, I can push and pull to my own
Git
repo and fetch all the upstream changes to forks in my repo.
Eclipse makes it so much easier to understand what's going on in the
background, fork, branch and apply patches. Plus you can revert local
changes simply.
I'm not developing in Python, just a pywikiapedia bot user but I think
there's a plugin for Python Dev in Eclipse. Might be a better IDE to use.

Git despite being pain in the ass sometimes because of complexity is a
pretty damn good version control system

was lost somewhere. After ten days I reported this bug
again[1].
Three days later there was patch, but we had to wait one week more
when
another developer rewieved this patch.
Sorry not to see your bug, I sent the
correcting patch like five hours
later after I saw it
now there are hundrets of new unconnected
articles in wiktionaries,
wikiquotes, wikinews...
In the meantime there was some diff, from which was possible to patch
manually scripts [2], but not in plaintext, with tabs instead of
spaces;
and nowhere was complete patched file to download.
you can do it in linux (and zip
it and use it in windows) for example
for my patch it's
"git fetch ssh://USERNMAE@gerrit.wikimedia.org:29418/pywikibot/compat
refs/changes/47/86047/3 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD"
Just copy the "download" tab in the change page

NO! people hadn't issue with git (because we provided files in flash
drives), main problem was BS.
IMHO people should run bots in WMF Labs, not their home PC, and high
proportion of bot operators are doing what is correct in my opinion.
NO! there is a very long and simple manual in here:
