Python library for Bugzilla’s REST API

I am now maintaining a python library (originally written by Jeff Balogh) for interacting with Bugzilla via the the REST API. You can get it from:

https://github.com/LegNeato/bztools

Check out the README for a simple example of how to use the library. You can also take a look at the scripts at http://hg.mozilla.org/users/clegnitto_mozilla.com/release_tools for some more advanced uses.

Some features:

• Supports authentication (with credentials stored in the system keychain with a config file fallback)
• Supports querying the API via agents with optional query options, so you can include/exclude what you need
• Support for Bugs, Users, Attachments, Comments, Changes, Changesets, Flags, Keyword. Dependency support will be working shortly as well
• Supports common set and equality operations for objects. For example, looping through a list of Bug objects:

  for bug in buglist:
    print bug
  

  Checking if a Bug object is in a list of Bugs:

  if bug in buglist:
    print "Found!"
  

  Adding sets of bugs together into one large set:

  all_bugs = buglist1 + buglist2 + buglist3
  

  Checking if two User objects are the same:

  if bug.assigned_to == bug.reporter:
    print "Assigned to the reporter!"

The library has really cleaned up my scripts and has been insanely useful. Thanks to Jeff for creating such a nice library and letting me take it over and improve it.
