Along the same lines as Oliver's great R client [1], I just started work on a python version:
PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wmf/0.1 code: https://github.com/milimetric/wmf (PRs welcome)
And if you're trying to skip past all the setup repository cruft, the meat: https://github.com/milimetric/wmf/blob/master/wmf/analytics/api/pageviews.py
Great work! I'm glad that someone picked this up in python too. The rate at which new client libraries have been released for working on the pageviews API is inspiring and hope that the trend continues for new services.
Props to Dan and Ironholds for seeing the need and filling it. :)

I wasn't aware of some conventions that came before me, so I moved the project from milimetric/wmf to mediawiki-utilities/python-mwviews. I promise it'll stay there, sorry for the inconvenience. Updated links:
PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mwviews/0.0.2 code: https://github.com/mediawiki-utilities/python-mwviews (PRs still welcome, thanks for the 2 you already helped with!)

Awesome! Welcome to the unix-like MediaWiki python libraries revolution.
Now to set aside some time to contribute and play around :)

Is this tool really a MediaWiki utility? As far as I understand the webservice running from http://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/metrics/ is independent of the MediaWiki software. Or am I misunderstanding something? The API and the tool are a Wikimedia Foundation project outside the main MediaWiki development (Github mirror: https://github.com/wikimedia/analytics-pageview-api), so the previous name (wmf) was actually better IMHO?
'mwviews' could mislead people to think that it could access view statistics from any MediaWiki instance. This is not that case if I understand correctly. "wmviews" would be a better name. :-)

Just to confuse the issue further:
You can already get views statistics from the ordinary API of an ordinary MediaWiki instance (where the $wgDisableCounters is set to false).
For instance, an API call on my wiki could be: http://neuro.compute.dtu.dk/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=... where the 'counter' field displays the statistics.
On Wikimedia Foundation's MediaWiki instances such as the Wikipedia you won't get the counter, see https://da.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=Amy...

Good point Finn!
This is a highly specialized first functionality of mwviews, but it should not stop there. We should have API methods for gathering the counter field too. I plan to gather some old code for processing the old hourly view logs to incorporate this into the library too. So, in short, this isn't really generally useful for MediaWiki, but it should be and will be soon.
Does anyone have a summary of how views are used/accessed for Wikia wikis that I could work from?
