Description:

gerritssh 0.1.3

Python package wrapping the Gerrit command line API.
This is very much a work in progress, and intended to be the basis
for building more sophisticated scripts and applications, for example
automating complex work flows in large projects.

Rationale
This project was started as a test-bed for me to explore the wider
world of Python, such as:

Unit testing
Continuous Integration
Sphinx rst documentation
tox, flake8, etc.
Supporting multiple versions of Python.
Pythonic style

Basically, everything that goes into making an industrial-strength Python
library or application. So you are going to see novice mistakes and code
which is not idiomatic.
All contributions and suggestions are welcome, and indeed that’s the logic
behind making this open source. I want to learn from the experience of those
who’ve been there before me.


Features

Handles the low-level details of the gerrit SSH command line syntax.
Makes the results of those commands available to the programmer in a
format which is more natural for Python programmers to manipulate.
Is aware of which combinations of commands and versions are supported
for versions of Gerrit from 2.4 through 2.8.
Supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4



Planned Features

Support a broad range of commands including the latest commands for Gerrit
v2.8 (such as ls-members)
Add a module to operate on sets of Review objects to perform more
complex searches, such as building dependency graphs of open reviews.
Add support for the administrators gsql command

Implement queries such as examining the audit trail on group membership
Wrapping generation of properly quoted SQL statements
Extract the SCHEMA information with a \d command and dynamically
clone the database into a memory-resident sqlite database.


Implement support for the stream-events command, serving up events
using an observer-pattern approach to allow many threads to consume
events.

Release Notes



0.1.3 (2014-06-04)

Fixes #4 - Unit tests are not sufficient
Added a baseline set of unit tests which perform end-to-end validation
against a live Gerrit instance if GSSH_TEST_INSTANCE is set in the
environment.

Corrects a bug found in the ssh client disconnect function by the new
tests.
Adds new and extended make targets to better clean and test the package.
Updated documentation accordingly, including expanded testing information.
Removed pypi from the list of environments used on travis-ci.
The tests all run fine under pypi locally, but something in travis’s
pypi environment seems to be broken since they started supporting
Python 3.4.




0.1.2 (2014-06-03)

Fixes #1 - gsshcli.py requires __version__ attribute
Moved VERSION.py to inside the package so the metadata is avaialable to
the package and its clients, then modified setup.py and conf.py to use
execfile to read the data for their own purposes.

Fixes #2 - gsshcli.py query command fails when –limit option used
The demo script now reconstitues all option arguments as strings.

Fixes #3 - Query command throws TypeError under Python2.7
The JSON responses from the query command are correctly converted to
strings in Python 2.x.

Initiates unit-test coverage reporting via coveralls.io



0.1.1 (2014-05-23)

Minor tweak for pip install



0.1.0 (2014-05-23)

First release on PyPI.
