You should be calling pywikibot.ItemPage with the data repository, not the site.
>>> import pywikibot
>>> wd = pywikibot.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata')
>>> repo = wd.data_repository()
>>> item = pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'Q42')
>>> item.get()
{'labels': <pywikibot.page.LanguageDict object at 0x7f69c8ca18e0>,
'descriptions': <pywikibot.page.LanguageDict object at
0x7f69c88fc8b0>, 'aliases': <pywikibot.page.AliasesDict object at
0x7f69c88fc6d0>, 'claims': <pywikibot.page.ClaimCollection object at
0x7f69c88fca30>, 'sitelinks': <pywikibot.page.SiteLinkCollection
object at 0x7f69c88fc940>}
>>> item.claims["P31"][0].getTarget()
ItemPage('Q5')
I couldn't get pywikibot.ItemPage.fromPage to work properly, but it
looks like that is related to
