I am not familar with toolforge but I think the usual way to use Pywikibot is to use ist stable branch version which is deployed monthly after tests passes. The master branch may be used by their own risk but is also very welcomed for beta testers and I know that a lot of bugs might be undetected unless it is used by a production system. But anyway a cross usage should be avoided anyhow. A newer script can probably fail with an older Pywikibot release like in this case. An older script works with a newer Pywikibot release but can throw a DeprecationWarning or show a FutureWarning. If a FutureWarning is shown the deprecated part might be removed with the overnext Python release.
