Have you looked at Cookbook:Pywe? Assuming your on a *Nix platform,
you can write a wrapper that creates static text files, then calls
Pywe to upload them to a PmWiki site.

Assuming you've already converted the text to PmWiki markup, this
should be an easy wrap app. If you need to convert the text, then
you'll want to obtain the text, run batch regecies over the text to
convert it to PmWiki markup, and then write the text file before you
Pywe it.
