wikipedia.py will return a IsRedirectPage exception with the new page title as exception text. If you catch the exception, read the text (try: (..) except IsRedirectPage, e: print e.message) and get that page. For use in category.py you could adapt line 354 and further (except wikipedia.IsRedirectPage, arg:) to read that page name and act upon it. Hopefully this answers your question.
