bot flag in page create

[hyperreal-info]

the bot flag in page creation is ignored by wikitools at the moment, why?

Works for me. Keep in mind that bot flags are only shown in recentchanges/watchlist, not page history.

>>> import pprint
>>> import settings
>>> from wikitools import *
>>> site = wiki.Wiki('https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php')
>>> site.login(settings.bot, settings.botpass)
True
>>> p = page.Page(site, 'User:Mr.Z-man/test123')
>>> p.exists
False
>>> res = p.edit(text='Test', summary='Test', bot=True)
>>> res
{u'edit': {u'pageid': 46323959, u'title': u'User:Mr.Z-man/test123', u'newtimestamp': u'2015-04-05T18:46:12Z', u'contentmodel': u'wikitext', u'result': u'Success', u'new': u'', u'oldrevid': 0, u'newrevid': 655076325}}
>>> params = {'action':'query', 'list':'recentchanges', 'rcuser':'Mr.Z-bot', 'rclimit':1, 'rcprop':'title|flags'}
>>> req = api.APIRequest(site, params)
>>> pprint.pprint(req.query(False))
{u'query': {u'recentchanges': [{u'bot': u'',
                                u'new': u'',
                                u'ns': 2,
                                u'title': u'User:Mr.Z-man/test123',
                                u'type': u'new'}]},
 u'query-continue': {u'recentchanges': {u'rccontinue': u'20150405111706|726410422'}},
 u'warnings': {u'query': {u'*': u"Formatting of continuation data will be changing soon. To continue using the current formatting, use the 'rawcontinue' parameter. To begin using the new format, pass an empty string for 'continue' in the initial query."}}}

Thanks, I was not aware of this. Sorry for a false report.
