WikiGateway is a library of functions which allows you to act as a client to a wiki website, executing operations like getPage, putPage, and getRecentChanges. WikiGateway translates your requests into the idiosyncratic HTML form interfaces of various popular wiki servers. Basically, it does Wiki I/O and import/export.
It can be used either as a Perl module or as a web service providing XmlRpcToWiki.
Currently it only works with UseMod and MoinMoin ...

This functionality is already provided by WikiRpc, so that Perl module is maybe only needed for wikis without WikiRpc. With MoinMoin and Python, you can use Python's standard library xmlrpclib.
