Just a heads up that the upcoming breaking change to WikiBase[1] will
require a breaking change in how Pywikibot handles Quantities on
Wikidata/WikiBase.
I have prepared a patch[2] which also ensures backwards compatibility for
older WikiBase installations, but at the cost of more work for anyone
wanting to use Pywikibot on Wikidata (and other up-to-date WikiBase
installations).
The alternative is a more serious breakage for users running Pywikibot on
older WikiBase installations but only a minor one for those running it on
Wikidata.
Feedback and thought are appreciated over at T150210
