:) But actually more interesting is whether we want to add plugins that assist Python dev workflow. For example, let's say we wanted to have a 'fixes' command that automatically updated the Roundup tracker with the branch information. I'd personally much rather write 10 lines of Python to add such a plugin than any amount of C or Perl, or whatever else. :)

(Which, btw, is already supported by the "--fixes" option on bzr's commit :) The --fixes option allows you to note where a bug is fixed in your repo. I think what Barry is envisioning is a tool that would automatically close the issue on Roundup.

Ouch, sure. I agree, it should be easy to do with a plugin. I couldn't dedicate enough yet to write a plugin, but as far as I have seen, the bzr API is quite pythonic.
