Whenever I want to use PetScanPageGenerator. :-)

I tried, it is very easy. __init__() and buildQuery() has to be modified.

From line 1153 in _generators.py I added one line:

query = {
    'language': self.site.code,
    'project': self.site.hostname().split('.')[-2],
    'depth': 30,
    'combination': 'subset' if subset_combination else 'union',
    'categories': '\r\n'.join(categories),
    'format': 'json',
    'doit': ''
}

It works.
