API talk:Client Code/Access Library Comparison

The first step of my microtask was to compare two Python libraries and make a convincing case for which was better. As I looked at the libraries on [API:Client_code#Python] I realized that there were two basic types and that someone who was looking for a simple wrapper might not want the layers of abstraction the more extensive libraries like pywikipediabot or mwclient offer. That said, simplemediawiki appears to be the most promising of the three simplest libraries. It is being actively maintained (last commit 9 days ago), the library includes unit tests, and the documentation is better than the others. This of course assumes that it lives up to its claims and is not full of bugs; I don't currently have the skill to evaluate that. Fhocutt (talk) 11:07, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
