After noting the warnings it contains, see the following page for a description of the Python API for Mercurial: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MercurialApi Git also has a Python API, which is fairly reasonable to use, though a bit different to the Mercurial one: http://www.samba.org/~jelmer/dulwich/ I've used both with some success.
