That's what I'm doing right now, but since this is a mission-critical process, it would be nice to have a more reliable exception detection and handling mechanism. With my straight calling-out-to-git implementation, the calling Python code doesn't even know about crashes or any kind of out-of-band behavior, much less able to do something about it. Also, I assume a library could provide an additional safety net over a bare "subprocess out to the git CLI client", improving the consistency of its behavior. For instance, it could implement mutex locks to avoid operations running over each other, which is important for our high- load needs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
