What are you using to "schedule" the bot? cron? You probably just need to
set your PYTHONPATH somewhere.

For pywikipedia, this means that if your pywikipedia directory is at
/home/user/scripts/pywikipedia, you'd put something like this in cron:

0 1 2 3 4 PYTHONPATH=$HOME/scripts/pywikipedia python $HOME/vandalize.py

If you're using qsub, you can set PYTHONPATH in an .environment file in your
home directory.

There might be a purely Pythonic way to do this as well. Just google around
a bit and you should be able to figure it out.
