Prerequisites
You might want to prepare some credential ini files with the Mediawiki-Japi CommandLine.
user-config.py
pywikibot expects a user-config.py file. The minimum recommended file for intranet usecases is:

# Slow down the robot such that it never makes a second page edit within
# 'put_throttle' seconds.
put_throttle = 0
The easiest way is to put it at $HOME/.pywikibot/user-config.py
Features
Encrypted credential handling
Py-3rdparty-mediawiki allows using pywikibot by simply giving each wiki an id and using the credential information created by MediaWiki-Japi. The needed family file is automatically created and registered. If you'd like to get a pure python solution for credential handling please file an issue on github - it's no big deal but i personally don't need it yet since i'm fine with the new CommandLine feature added recently.
Semantic MediaWiki API support
see https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/py-3rdparty-mediawiki/issues/1
Example
from wikibot.wikibot import WikiBot
wikibot=WikiBot.ofWikiId("test2")
wikibot.site ...
