hgapi

https://travis-ci.org/haard/hgapi.png?branch=master

hgapi is a pure-Python API to Mercurial, that uses the command-line interface instead of the internal Mercurial API. The rationale for this is twofold: the internal API is unstable, and it is GPL.

hgapi works for all versions of Mercurial, and will instantly reflect any changes to the repository (including hgrc). It also has a really permissive license (do whatever you want, don't blame me).

For example of code that uses this API, take a look at https://bitbucket.org/haard/autohook which now uses hgapi exclusively. Add any feature requests or bugs found to the issue tracker.

So far, the API supports:

hg add [<file>]
hg addremove [<file>]
hg archive [-t type] [-r rev] <destination>
hg bookmarks [-r rev] [-f] [-m name newname | -d name | -i name | name]
hg branch
hg branches
hg clone
hg commit [files] [-u name] [--close-branch]
hg diff
hg heads
hg id
hg incoming
hg init
hg log
hg merge (fails on conflict)
hg outgoing
hg paths
hg pull [<source>]
hg push [<destination>]
hg remove
hg rename <source> <destination>
hg revert
hg root
hg status
hg tag
hg tags
hg update <rev>
hg version

You also have access to the configuration (config, configbool, configlist) just as in the internal Mercurial API. The repository supports slicing and indexing notation.

Example usage:

>>> import hgapi
>>> repo = hgapi.Repo("test_hgapi")  # existing folder
>>> repo.hg_init()
>>> repo.hg_add("file.txt")  # already created but not added file
>>> repo.hg_commit("Adding file.txt", user="me")
>>> str(repo['tip'].desc)
'Adding file.txt'
>>> len(repo[0:'tip'])
1
>>> open('test_hgapi/file.txt', 'a').write('\nAdded line') # doctest: +IGNORE_RESULT
>>> diff = repo.hg_diff()  # returns list of diffs
>>> assert diff[0]['filename'] == 'file.txt'
>>> assert '+Added line' in diff[0]['diff']

Installation

Easiest is easy_install or pip from PyPy:

pip install hgapi

or:

easy_install hgapi

Otherwise, download the source, make sure you have setuptools installed, and then run:

python setup.py install

Development

Do not hesitate to send requests, issues or perform code reviews! When developing please follow the pep8 guidelines (see http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) and do use tox to check your code:

tox

Tox will make sure that hgapi runs on Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4; and it will check the pep8 compliance. By contributing you agree to release the code under the license terms listed below (basically - anyone can do anything with this code). Feel free to add yourself to the contributor list in your pull request.
