You mentioned "a while back" for "apcontinue", show recent was it? This
dump generator is attempting to archive all sorts of versions of
MediaWiki, or so unless we write a backward compatibility handler in the
script itself.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Allpages ,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Lists and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries don't really
shed any light.
...and I agree, the code is in a total mess. We need to get someone to
rewrite the whole thing, soon.
Well, that in an ideal world. In this one, the best would probably be
suggestions for simple libraries to be used to solve such small
problems? (Which can become very big if one doesn't follow API evolution
very closely or know it's history from the beginning of time.)

You're searching for the continue parameter as "apfrom", but this was
changed to "apcontinue" a while back. Changing line 162 to something
like this should probably do it:
m = re.findall(r'<allpages (?:apfrom|apcontinue)="([^>]+)" />',
xml)
Note that for full correctness, you probably should omit both apfrom
and apcontinue entirely from params the first time around, and send
back whichever of the two is found by the above line in subsequent
queries.
Also, why in the world aren't you using an XML parser (or a JSON
parser with format=json) to process the API response instead of trying
to parse the XML using regular expressions?!
