Split off from bug 58084 ; pywikibot needs unit tests that write to a (test) wiki, and integration tests which use scripts to perform high level tasks and verifies the results are correct.

write tests are now possible; testing scripts that write to a site still needs investigation and building.

We have a high level set of script tests called .. 'script_tests.py', and specific tests for the scripts archivebot and data_ingestion (however these test the script class, and not the script cmd line interface).
Most scripts now have a 'main' which can be be used as an entry point to invoke a script using its command line interface. And we have a patch pending to provide an 'expect' like interface to control a scripts and supply values via stdin for scripts which interact with the user.
