Project description

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.

Main website: <https://www.dulwich.io/>

License: Apache License, version 2 or GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.

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

Differences with other Python Git libraries

Unlike other Python Git libraries, Dulwich is available as a standalone package that doesn’t depend on git (like GitPython) being installed or any native code (like pygit2).

This comes at the cost of speed, but makes it easier to deploy in environments where git isn’t available or where it’s important to have a pure Python implementation.

To improve performance, Dulwich includes optional Rust bindings that can be used to speed up low-level operations.

Installation

By default, Dulwich’ setup.py will attempt to build and install the optional Rust 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 Rust bindings, specify the –pure argument to setup.py:

$ python setup.py --pure install

or if you are installing from pip:

$ pip install --no-binary dulwich dulwich --config-settings "--build-option=--pure"

Note that you can also specify –build-option in a requirements.txt file, e.g. like this:

dulwich --config-settings "--build-option=--pure"

Getting started

Dulwich comes with both a lower-level API and higher-level plumbing (“porcelain”).

For example, to use the lower level API to access the commit message of the last commit:

>>> from dulwich.repo import Repo
>>> r = Repo('.')
>>> r.head()
'57fbe010446356833a6ad1600059d80b1e731e15'
>>> c = r[r.head()]
>>> c
<Commit 015fc1267258458901a94d228e39f0a378370466>
>>> c.message
'Add note about encoding.\n'

And to print it using porcelain:

>>> from dulwich import porcelain
>>> porcelain.log('.', max_entries=1)

Add note about encoding.

Further documentation

The dulwich documentation can be found in docs/ and built by running make doc. It can also be found on the web.

Help

There is a #dulwich IRC channel on the OFTC, and a dulwich-discuss mailing list.
