title: Updating a media wiki article using Python?
body: <p>Hi
  I have a cron job which collects some statistics about a service. I need the cron job to update a media wiki page (append to the page) programmatically. 
  I am using python for the cron so what are my best options, are there any examples of mediawiki/python libraries or does Media wiki expose any HTTP/REST apis which I can use (may be through an extension).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
