Hi,

I'm curious why python-hgapi exists when from its description it sounds
like it's a clone of python-hglib which predates it (at least in the
debian archive) by a number of years?

Thanks,
Julien

Dear Julien,

I seem to remember checking this when I was packaging the micro:bit
toolchain and finding their different approaches:

- python-hgapi uses the Mercurial command line for its work
- python-hglib uses the internal Mercurial API for its work

python-hgapi was packaged solely as a dependency for yotta. Having
neither the experience with hg internally, nor the desire, I did not
got through the source to migrate from one to the other.

Please let me know if you're happy to close the report.

Cheers,
Nick

That's not true, actually, python-hglib uses the hg command line, it
doesn't use any mercurial internals.

Cheers,
Julien
