About a year ago, I developed a monkey patch for pywikipediabot which uses
the database (and wikiproxy if I'm right). It's in
/home/valhallasw/libs/python/pywikipedia/wikipedia_ts.py; just add

  import wikipedia_ts

after import wikipedia and it should work. Or not, as it's from before the
database server split et cetera. Feel free to use it as a base for further
code (it's MIT licensed :))
