I recently shotgunned about 86 documents onto my web site--the
Federalist papers. Here is the wee python script that worked for
me.[1] You will notice that I hard coded the page counting. If you
were to modify the script to query for a range of pages, pull those
pages from the MediaWiki site, then shotgun into PmWiki, you may have
an easier path.
