mwclient is a lightweight Python client library to the MediaWiki API which provides access to most API functionality. It works with Python 3.6 and above, and supports MediaWiki 1.21 and above. For functions not available in the current MediaWiki, a MediaWikiVersionError is raised.

The current stable version 0.11.0 is available through PyPI:

$ pip install mwclient

The current development version can be installed from GitHub:

$ pip install git+git://github.com/mwclient/mwclient.git

Please see the changelog document for a list of changes.

mwclient was originally written by Bryan Tong Minh. It was maintained for many years by Dan Michael O. Heggø, with assistance from Waldir Pimenta. It is currently maintained by Marc Trölitzsch, Adam Williamson and Megan Cutrofello. The best way to get in touch with the maintainers is by filing an issue or a pull request.
