@Multichill - could be, I'm not familiar with WbTime other than a glance at the code. Are there edge cases (eg. 10^20 years into the future?) that would break the "int/long" assumptions? But it definitely does NOT work for WbQuantity the way things currently are. Fixing WbQuantity seemed to be out of scope here, though it does need to be done. Coordinate may have similar issues as it uses floats.
From pywikibot/page.py description of the Property class, the actual classes involved in the different object types are:
- ItemPage or PropertyPage
- basestring
- FilePage
- Coordinate
- WbTime
- WbQuantity
- WbMonolingualText
The parser doesn't seem to do anything special for wikibase-item types; creating the object would I think involve another separate API query. It seems to me each case would need to be handled at least a little differently.
One route would be a separate function to turn the parsed values into pywikibot objects - for example a special constructor for WbTime that takes the parsed values.
