https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Bots is about bots in general, regardless of their actual implementation. However, it, of course, contains link to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Creating_a_bot (in "See also" section) which in turn contains quite detailed description of pywikibot (and some others platforms as well).
I don't think that Wikidata:Bots needs to have detailed description of how to create bot, this page is for ordinary users and not for botmakers. However, it would be probably a good idea to make a section with brief description where to look for information about creating bots.

It does, but only on the very bottom with a "see also".
Hmm, that doesn't look very good. Pywikibot has full Wikidata support and contains several scripts you can run without writing a line of python, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Scripts#Wikidata
Maybe we should update the bots page to make it clearer and easier to find.

Somehow I ended up on https://github.com/jcreus/pywikidata first.
which is two years out of date and very similarly named.. -ben

There is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Bots which is the first hit on Google for me when searching for "bots wikidata". Maybe it needs to be linked more on the site itself though.
I may just be blind, but it actually doesn't look like that page mentions pywikibot anywhere. I wonder if he may have found that page, but it didn't answer all of the questions he had?
Thank you, Derric Atzrott
