You did it in a very bad way you simply must use: page = pywikibot.Page\(site, "Wikipedia:Unchi Bassi"\) data = pywikibot.DataPage\(page\) data.get\(\)
You're right. But this is only a very simple example which follows strictly the instructions to reproduce the error.
instructions said you can use one of two ways I'll correct that and I'll make a more clear documentation
