POBazaar: bzrlib equivalent of "bzr info"
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to write a simple script that trawls through a list of directories, checks if they are bzr version-controlled, and then tells me what their status is - ie, how many files have been modified, added etc.</p> <p>I've done this with the bzrlib Python API, and it's working great.</p> <p>My final stumbling block has been trying to figure out how to get at the trunk the branch originated from.</p> <p>To do this at the command line is a simple:</p> <pre><code> bzr info </code></pre> <p>However, what is the equivalent in bzrlib?</p> <p>At the moment, I'm opening the locations as working trees:</p> <pre><code>d = 'some directory' wt = workingtree.WorkingTree.open(d) </code></pre> <p>I tend to use "checkout" in my work, so I would be looking for something to tell me the location of the branch the current instance is checked out from, eg from the command-line:</p> <pre><code>>bzr info dev Checkout (format: unnamed) Location: checkout dev: dev checkout of branch: bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/.... </code></pre> <p>I basically want the last line as some string that I can plug into my script.</p> <p>Many thanks in advance for your time</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Dave</p> <p>For future reference, for those interested. Following the hint in the accepted answer below, here is how to get at the bzr info for using location 'd':</p> <pre><code>from bzrlib import repository, branch, workingtree, info r = repository.Repository.open(d) b = branch.Branch.open(d) w = workingtree.WorkingTree.open(d) bzr_info = info.gather_location_info(r,branch=b,working=w) </code></pre> <p>There is perhaps a more elegant way to do this, in which case feel free to add comments here!</p>
