This is something that the pywiki devs need to fix in compat. Please dont give me shit about moving to core. I have yet to have it not fatally error out in less than 10 minutes of using it. There are still a lot of features that core doesnt have, or that are poorly implemented.

As has been announced several times (most recently at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-April/081559.html), the default continuation mode for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly.
*The date is now set:* we intend to merge the change to ride the deployment train at the end of June. That should be 1.26wmf12, to be deployed to test wikis on June 30, non-Wikipedias on July 1, and Wikipedias on July 2.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen here https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages, for example), it's time to fix your code!
- The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter
with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data ( example <
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawco...
).
No other code changes should be necessary.
- Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation
documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example < https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&conti...
),
which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
I've compiled a list of bots that have hit the deprecation warning more than 10000 times over the course of the week May 23–29. If you are responsible for any of these bots, please fix them. If you know who is, please make sure they've seen this notification. Thanks.

OK, just ones off hand that are already filed phab tickets for:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57007 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66835 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66833 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59995 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57881
And honestly your response to the last ticket is uncalled for. The user filed a report about missing features from compat, your response was basically We dont care, fix it yourself.
