I found some documentation about PWB on Wikiversity and Wikibooks: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Pywikibot They're mostly obsolete, and should redirect to the up-to-date manual on MediaWiki.org. But since the license allows it, we can copy some content from there ;-) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Creating_a_bot#Pywikibot is somewhat newer, but still duplicates MW.org.
Copying contents generates the liability to continously maintain three parallel documents. I haven't recently read those manuals, so they may have some extra benefit I don't know about, but as we are mostly programmers here, either professional or hobby, I ask what is the advantage of this redundant data storing? The only useful duplication is to keep up native language versions in separate wikis for those who are able to use bots but have difficulties with English. (IMO)

I'm exactly saying that documentation should not be duplicated ;-) And by the way, the Translate extension is much better at internationalization than separate wikis.
