Xqt added a comment.

  I played a bit with it few months ago and didn't found any advantage to 
derive the the IRCBot from pywikibot.Bot. I don't know what script_wui is doing 
with it. There are no other applications using it. Maybe operators may use is 
with their own script but I feel our implementation is to special than it is 
very usefull.
  
  Btw stewardBot is and articlenos.py was using SingleServerIRCBot directly.
  
  The intention noted in the script:
  
    # Note: the intention is to develop this module (at some point) into a Bot
    # class definition that can be subclassed to create new, functional bot
    # scripts, instead of writing each one from scratch.
  
  is to vague and I have no glue, in which direction this development can lead.
  That library was not mainainted for 6 years if ever.
  
  After dropping script_wui I propose to drop this framework script too.
  Maybe the needed parts can be moved to the deprecated script_wui.
