import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.getSite()
cat = pywikibot.Category(site, 'Speeches')
for i in cat.subcategories(total=5):

print i

returns empty list even if subcats are present.

api,py gives up at first try if this fails:

if self.resultkey in self.data["query"]:

it should try again a query has still data to provide:

{u'query-continue': {u'categorymembers': {u'gcmcontinue': u'page|414444524553532044454c49564552454420415420544845204d41534f4e20434f4c4c4547452c20414e0a45535341595320414e44204144445245535345532f414e20414444524553532044454c49564552454420415420544845204d41534f4e20434f4c4c454745|411259'}}, u'query': {u'userinfo': {u'id': 257091, u'name': u'Mpaa'}}}
