Don't use compat, use core.

Yes, Core has better support

Thanks very much. Given the importance of bots in wikidata, it would be great if this key nugget of information could somehow be made obvious to developers looking at the wikidata site. I asked after me and several other folks did a fair amount of failed digging. Not sure the best place to put it?
cheers -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
It does, but only on the very bottom with a "see also".
Somehow I ended up on https://github.com/jcreus/pywikidata first.
which is two years out of date and very similarly named.. -ben

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.

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.
