I should have clarified that Pywe simulates a browser POST to a PmWiki
site, which means that all the standard behavior of PmWiki on editing
takes effect per the site's configuration. That is, it updates the
page and increments page history, updates the various indices, and
allows any site-specific text alteration to occur. It does not do a
server-side posting, which I opine is unwise because it detracts from
site standardization because it does not engage all of PmWiki's
functionality.
