Go for it; actually I wouldn't have a problem with us converting over to
that and dropping the old method of communicating with bugzilla.

Hi all,

here is a quick update on this:

Agreed, and I think that is going to happen sooner than longterm.

I now have a project on my github account called PyZilla, which is a
library for communicating with BugZilla via xmlrpc. [1] However, it
does not work with python 2.7, which is what I would like.

I emailed the original author since he hadn't worked on this library in
a year, and I was given permission to take over maintainership because
he said he doesn't have time to work on it.

So, any patches to make this work with python-2.7 are welcome. :-)

Heh, I have been working on a similar concept, and I actually have a
working implementation. I am able to successfully search, log in, and
create new bugs. I just pushed this to my github.

https://github.com/floppym/BugzillaProxy

I have not taken the time to integrate it into pybugz. If you want to
take it from here, that would be great. Or I'm happy to help too; I'm
just not quite sure how to integrate it.

Side note: I have noticed that the xml-rpc interface does not allow
you to search on all available Bugzilla fields. The most obvious
missing field is the CC list.
