pediapress/mwlib — Issue #8: mwlib provides top-level argv.py file, which can pollute the Python package namespace

As part of the review process for getting mwlib into Fedora, the package reviewer stated the following:

Potential future issues:

* The package installs a toplevel argv.py file/module. This seems to just be
used for the command line scripts for parsing the command line. Since this
has the potential to pollute the python package namespace with a somewhat
common name, suggest to upstream that they may want to restructure like
this::
mv argv.py mwlib/._argv.py
sed s/import argv/from mwlib import _argv as argv/
