Hi Alex,

I'm not sure what you are proposing - what do you want to prune off,
exactly, and how is python-wikitools [1] related to this?

We already have 'a real "pywikipedia core" containing nothing but really
needed modules to run basics with personal scripts.' - it's called
pywikibot-core ;-). We do package scripts in the scripts/ subdirectory, but
they are completely seperate from the base framework.

Alternatively, if you want a smaller framework, there are some
alternatives: python-wikitools is one of them, but there's also mwclient
[2] and, for instance, Yuvi's python-mwapi, which is really close to the
API level.

Best,
Merlijn
