Re: Using git from Python

["Steve Frécinaux" <nudrema@gmail.com>]

Hi,

It is very fun, because I started my own project ten days ago with
similar goals: making python bindings for git. Since I didn't have
much imagination at that time, I called it "pygit", eventually
renaming it later with a better name.

While being quite similar to git-python at first glance, its primary
goal is to feel as pythonic as possible, and to be suitable for
porcelainish scripts (in such, it is quite low-level wrt the
operations it allows, and has repository writing at the top of its
todo list)...

Despite it seems a bit older than gitpython if you look at the commit
history, it seems less mature, probably because it's written mostly
from scratch and not a raw port of the ruby bindings. For instance,
docs are still missing, which is why I didn't announce it to this list
yet. It seems it is roughly on par with git-python feature-wise,
though.

I hope you'll like this one too ;-)

Ah, I forgot: here it is: http://code.istique.net/?p=pygit.git

PS. Comments welcome.
