A Machine Interface for interacting with Bugzilla

python-bugzilla-mi

As you can see, this project is a fork of python-bugzilla/python-bugzilla. A Machine Interface (i.e. MI) is used as wrapper (or for replacing in some sense) on all the original features. And the concept of MI originates from the well-known GDB: The GNU Project Debugger with docs at GDB User Manual - The GDB/MI Interface.

The purpose of introducing MI in python-bugzilla-mi is also to support using it as just one small component of a larger system.

Workflow

python-bugzilla-mi is very different from python-bugzilla because MI replaces most of original CLI features. So it will be treated as an independent branch and the latest features in python-bugzilla will be merged into this branch in time.

⚠️The original project has been greatly simplified due to limited time and resources of the developers. If you are not a member of our organization, please be careful before running the scripts and make sure that you know its difference from python-bugzilla/python-bugzilla and understand the possible consequences (for example your Bugzilla account may be judged as suspicious by the administrator and then be disabled).

Documentation

bugzilla-mi is the entrance of python-bugzilla-mi in which you can talking to a Bugzilla instance over XMLRPC or REST. Also original features about performing actions from the command line is still available but with a different usage, such as create or edit bugs, various queries, etc.

bugzilla-cli still provides exactly the same features as before (also same as the original CLI tool /usr/bin/bugzilla).

Please browse things in docs for more details.
