Build Status

This is the Dulwich project.

It aims to provide an interface to git repos (both local and remote) that doesn't call out to git directly but instead uses pure Python.

Homepage: https://samba.org/~jelmer/dulwich/ Author: Jelmer Vernooij jelmer@samba.org

The project is named after the part of London that Mr. and Mrs. Git live in in the particular Monty Python sketch.

Installation

By default, Dulwich' setup.py will attempt to build and install the optional C extensions. The reason for this is that they significantly improve the performance since some low-level operations that are executed often are much slower in CPython.

If you don't want to install the C bindings, specify the --pure argument to setup.py::

$ python setup.py --pure install

or if you are installing from pip:

$ pip install dulwich --global-option="--pure"
