Thanks Maarten, so BS is one more module that I don't need. Really I use pywikipedia in a personal, exotic way - running only some basic scripts, an approach similar to wikitools. I'll try to remove from my compat folder any unused script - I suppose that the result will be surprising. :-) PyQuery is interesting since it's so similar to jQuery - a big advantage for me; but I see that BS is something deeply different.
