You definitely do not need git on a Mac to run pywikipedia. You don't need Xcode either (though there's nothing wrong with installing it).

It's hard to diagnose at a distance like this why you're having such difficulties, but honestly it shouldn't be anything like as hard as this to install on Yosemite.

All you do to install pywikipedia on a modern version of OS X is to go here grab the nightly build of compat, and unzip the folder. It should unzip to the correct location, but just make sure the pywikipedia folder is at.

That's literally it.

You absolutely, positively do not need git Xcode or anything else. Yosemite comes with a stripe of Python that will work.

I would highly recommend that you kinda forget everything you've done to this point — hope that you haven't damaged your system by a misinstallation of git — and try again. It should take you all of five minutes, and if it's taking longer, stop, because something is wrong.
