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.

Alex
