test_page.exists()
test_page.text += 'Hello world'
test_page.save()

• To create HTML form GUI:

@interact_manual
def write_page(name='user_talk:cmglee', text=):
   p = pywikibot.Page(test, name)
   p.text = text
   p.save()

Site

         |_ Item dict
             |_ claim

• Access wikidata

site = pywikibot.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata')
repo = site.data_repository()
item = pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'Q43049')
item_dict = item.get()
item_dict.keys()
dir(item)
claim = item_dict['claims']['P31'][0]
dir(claim)
claim.toJSON()
