You can actually use site.EditEntity() even for creating Properties.
Re-using Ricordisamoa's example.
import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.Site('en', 'mywiki')
site.login()
data = {
'datatype': 'string', # mandatory
'descriptions': {
'en': {
'language': 'en',
'value': 'invented description'
}
},
'labels': {
'en': {
'language': 'en',
'value': 'test property'
}
}
}
identification = {
'new': 'property'
}
summary = 'my edit summary'
results = site.editEntity(identification, data, summary)
prop = pywikibot.PropertyPage(site, results.get(u'entity').get('id'))
