I have implemented a version of CheckUsage in Python. This uses one
persistent MySQL connection to the databases, and one persistent HTTP
connection to en-wikipedia. Maybe using this instead of Duesentrieb's
is an option.

Try converting the unicode object to an int using int().

I'm interested in this feature. What I basically need is read access
to the CommonsDelinker databases. I don't have very much time to
program, but as this is not a real critical feature and will probably
not be very much work, I am volunteering for this issue.

See /home/bryan/xbtt/autorun.sh, this might be of some help.
