which
appears to be a python bot that uses chunked uploading, and thus work
with files up to 500 mb big. Perhaps it would be helpful to you.

I think Daniel's question was about how to make this method work for a
bot too, i.e. via the API rather than in a browser.

I don't know the current settings; you might need to enable chunked
uploads
in the MediaWiki prefs for the user you're uploading as.
