python-hglib
A Python library for interfacing with Mercurial's CommandServer
Contents
1. Getting the source
The package is available on PyPI or can be cloned from its primary repository at http://selenic.com/repo/python-hglib.
2. License
Unlike Mercurial itself, which requires derived works be licensed with the GPLv2+, python-hglib is available under the less restrictive MIT license.
3. Installing
The package includes a standard distutils setup.py, so should install with:
$ python setup.py install
Gentoo-users can just emerge dev-python/hglib.
4. Basic usage
First create an hglib client object:
import hglib
client = hglib.open("/path/to/repo")Now you can perform Mercurial commands with a Python interface:
commit = client.log("tip")
print commit.authorFor more examples, see the examples/ and tests/ dirs in the source.
5. Compatibility
It should be possible to use any version of python-hglib with all versions of Mercurial that support the command server protocol (Mercurial 1.9 or newer). Supported Python versions are 2.4-2.7.
6. Reporting bugs
This package is managed by the Mercurial project, so bugs can be reported to the main Mercurial BTS. Please mention 'hglib' in the subject.
7. Contributing code
Similarly, code contribution should (roughly) follow the guidelines from ContributingCode. Please flag patches with 'hglib' (eg via patchbomb's --flag switch).
