>>From a Python app, I want to read and write a git repository.  It seems 
from Luiz Fernando's post at http://blog.cpu.eti.br/?p=91 that the efforts 
to Pythonize libgit have stalled.

On #git, I was advised to simply call the git command suite.  That's fine, 
and I can do it using the subprocess module in Python - but since I 
figured others may have done this also, does anyone know of a Python 
module that wraps some git commands?  I'm thinking if others have gone 
down this path, they might have code that e.g. raises Exceptions when the 
git commands fail for some reason.

What have others on this list done lately for using git from Python?
