Mr. Rigo:

As stated in my proposal, I will initially focus on making all of
the hyperdb functionality available over a network.  From there,
adding individual tracker functions should be fairly simple.

Just to clarify, I am not proposing to create a complete user
interface (ie, ncurses or GTK); rather, I will create a library to
make the database available to remote users, and a utility to provide
simple command-line access to the tracker.

My motivation is to be able to use a command-line client similar
to the following:


::

   $ roundup-client.py Issue47 attachfile somefile.txt
   $ echo 'Installed patch on server; closing ticket' | roundup-client.py Issue91 attachmessage -


However, I agree that a higher-level wrapper providing access to
the functions exposed on the web interface could be useful.  Perhaps
something like the following?


:: 

   import roundup-client
   
   tracker = roundup-client.connect('http://url.to.tracker.com', 'username', 'password')
   for issue in tracker.query('My Open Tickets'):
     if issue['Priority'] == 'Critical':
       <do something with the issue>
   


Please let me know if this is what you have in mind.
