CVS interface module

[Jim]

Hello,

Inside of a Python script I need to work a CVS archive. Nothing fancy,
but I need to update the local tree, change or add some files from time
to time, and commit. Naturally I looked for a module that would allow
me to easily see if there were conflicts, the server is down, etc.

I've looked in this group, Googled around, etc., but I've not found
anything. Is there a reasonably mature project that people use for
this purpose?

Thanks,
Jim

have you seen

http://pycvs.sourceforge.net/

?

(on the other hand, if it's your own archive, you might wish to switch to
a more modern CVS-style system, http://subversion.tigris.org, which has
a native Python API)

Thank you; in fact I did see that. Forgive me, but it is often
difficult to tell what on sf is helpful. I noted the version number
0.1, the file date of 2003, that there are essentially no hits (that
is, that people seem not to be downloading), and that there is almost
no traffic in the forums. It made me wonder if there was something
else that people were using that somehow I was not finding. But I
guess I was mistaken.

Thank you also for the svn suggestion, but I am working with an
existing archive that at least at the moment is cvs.

I'll do the download,
Jim
