Is there any python lib for calling CVS api?

[ironpythonster]

Hi everyone, this should be a quick question. I'm writing some
scripts
to take some file and move them into a CVS repository, but it's pretty
slow, because it uses system calls to execute the CVS commands.

Has anyone ever made a python to CVS interface library that I could
use?
Some one sugestion me use the cvsgui lib,but it look like that the lib
could
not use fro Python2.4.I've been trying to google around for something,
but predictably I get
a zillion sourceforge repository hits, and it isn't really helping. So

anyway, if anyone knows of a useful module, I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks!

You might get some ideas from ViewVC if you're accessing the repository
directly:

There may be scripts out there which import data from various other
revision control systems into CVS, although the focus these days seems
to be on *exporting* data from CVS and putting it into things like
Subversion, Bazaar, Mercurial and so on, but I believe the scripts for
the latter two are Python programs and may also provide some
inspiration.

AFAIK there is no such thing as a CVS-library. Which was one of the
motivations behind subversion, which offers its functionality through a
library that has a python wrapping available.
