I see your BRFA says the source code is "standard pywikipedia", but I don't see any script included with Pywikibot for doing this task. Useful additional features compared to your manual diff include relaying the deleting admin and deletion reason from the log (after verifying it's not a deletion log entry previous to the AFD itself), detecting "moved without redirect" as being distinct from "nominated title does not exist", and allowing the deleting admin a chance to manually close before the bot does it for them.
