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:
where the 'counter' field displays the statistics.
On Wikimedia Foundation's MediaWiki instances such as the Wikipedia you
won't get the counter, see
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. :-)

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!)

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:
