Yesterday I did some preliminary packaging of python-mwlib (and one of
its deps, odfpy):

http://pfrields.fedoraproject.org/packages/SRPMS/ 

These packages might be helpful.  The DocBook converter is decent --
produces valid DocBook XML, but there are occasional mistakes like
including a trailing period in link URLs if they occur at the end of a
sentence.  That kind of mistake wouldn't matter once you did a
conversion to text using a standard tool like xmlto.
