[Pywikipedia-l] botMayEdit() and {{nobots}}

Hi,

I've noticed botMayEdit() doesn't check for a whitelist if the template used
is {{nobots}}, instead it always returns False.  Is that a bug or a feature?
 From reading the documentation on en:Template:Bots, it seems that
{{nobots|allow=FooBot}} isn't actually a supported way of using the template
(instead it should be {{bots|allow=FooBot}}) so pywikibot is doing it right.
 Still, I just wanted to check before I go fiddling with the template on
somebody's talk page (again) :)


Cheers,
Morten
