Python wiki editing help (mwclient)

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi folks, 

I'm trying to write a simple python script to generate agenda pages for
various team meetings. The initial version is here[1]. There's still
work to be done to make it more convenient to use, even more generic so
that all teams can use it. 

Now, using mwclient, I cannot add external links to the pages (such as
timeanddate.com links, or the {{fpchat|fedora-channel}} template link),
since it wants me to solve the captcha. Would anyone know if there's a
way of retrieving the captcha question and answering it using python so
that external links can be added? I wouldn't want to circumvent the
captcha, since it's there to prevent spamming (mostly via bots and
scripts :D), but I'd be glad if I could solve the captcha and post the
page with external links.

Most of this[2] wiki page is generated by the script. I've made changes
later.

It isn't a big deal: I can always add stuff a little malformed to get
around the captcha and then correct the page manually. I was just
wondering if it was possible to interact with the captcha.
