I know the hg people do not recommend the python interface, they recommend 
the command server or passing the same commands as you'd use in a terminal 
interface.  The command server gives you  performance close to the internal 
calls, and there may be a python flavor of it.   However, it may not make 
sense if you can't keep the connection open, and I'm not sure how web2py 
would deal with that in a non-DAL situation.

The internal API, unlike the user-visible commands and the command server, 
is not guaranteed to be consistent from release to release.  Bundled 
extensions are guaranteed to be updated to match; third-party extensions 
need to be watching for the RC candidates.

Re: [web2py] Re: Best practices for using mercurial within web2py

Thanks for the replies.

I am using web2py as a front end for bitbucket and mercurial.  Mercurial is
managing multiple repos on my site.  I click a button to pull new code in
from bitbucket.

The way I am currently doing it is passing a path into a subprocess which
runs mercurial commands to do the pulls and updates.

I did this to avoid os.chdir() (for thread safety) ...

Is it better to use the mercurial python api?

Anyone have any experience with this?

Mark
