Site.Categories

Site.Categories is a PageList object that provides access to the Category object for any category on a site, as in:

page = site.Categories['Apples']
text = page.[[Page.edit|edit]]()

When using Categories, unlike when using Site.Pages, the "Category:" namespace prefix is not required.

It also permits iteration over all categories on a site:

for page in site.Categories:
    print page.[[Page.page_title|page_title]]

For a large site with many categories, this kind of loop can take a long time to run.

To access other types of pages, use Site.Pages or Site.Images.
