Hi,

I am trying to use a q number to get the details of a page in wikidata.  I have 
searched through the tutorials and found these that claim to work

        wikidata = pywikibot.Site("wikidata", "wikidata")
        repo = wikidata.data_repository()

        item = pywikibot.ItemPage(wikidata, 
"Q42").get()['claims']['P31'][0].getTarget()
        itempage = 
pywikibot.ItemPage.fromPage(pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.Site("en", "wikipedia"), 
"Douglas Adams"))

However when I run either of these then I get the


EntityTypeUnknownException: DataSite("wikidata", "wikidata") does not support 
entity type "item"

As I am new to this and also python I am sure I am doing something stupid but 
its currently driving me mad.

Any help would be appreciated

Clemo
