First, upgrade to the current release (now 1.5.8)
IMMEDIATELY!
You are leaving your server open to potentially serious
attack by running this
old version with known security vulnerabilities.

What's wrong with Python? Have you signed some contract
forbidding the execution
of programs written in Python or something?
Keep in mind that pywikipediabot is a client-side program
suite: it does not run
on the web server, but on your own computer; it connects to
the server over HTTP
just as your web browser does.
I would strongly recommend using the pywikipediabot
framework, which seems to be
the best developed and supported bot tool suite. However
there are other
client-side bot frameworks in other languages (use Google to
search!) or you can
write up a server-side script in PHP using MediaWiki's
internal functions: see
the maintenance directory for a whole passel of them.

Sure, it's possible but that's considered bad form; you
should always maintain
integrity with the page history.
