Re: [pywikibot] Breaking change (but for which users)

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 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150210>[3]. The WikiBase breaking change goes live on Wikidata 2016-11-15 Cheers, André / Lokal_Profil [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/302248/ [2] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/320649 [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150210
