No way to retrieve comments from bugs

[vortechs2000]

From what I can see, the current code doesn't allow the retrieval of comments based on bug number. It should be as simple as adding a 'self._proxy.Bug.comments({'ids': bug_ids})' type of call into the base and referencing that from with the Bug class.

Any reason not to do this? I have a POC that seems to work that I could submit.

I think you can do this as things stand now:

>>> import bugzilla
>>> bz = bugzilla.Bugzilla('https://bugzilla.redhat.com')
>>> bug = bz.getbug(1234567)
>>> bug.comments

I tried this, and it didn't work for our BZ 4.0.3 or 5.0 installation. There is no comments attribute on my bug object.

I had to do this to be able to retrieve them:
vortechs2000@daaea08

[vortechs2000]

This is the traceback I get:

>>> b = bz.getbug(53334)
>>> b.comments
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bugzilla/bug.py", line 106, in __getattr__
      raise AttributeError("Bug object has no attribute '%s'" % name) 
AttributeError: Bug object has no attribute 'comments'

yeah the "comments" as a return for getbug/query is a bugzilla.redhat.com extension AFAIK. so if you have a patch for comments(), send it over and we can find a way to make it work with rh and non-rh bugzilla

Opened pull request #7 as a potential fix for this

Thanks, I've pushed your patch now
