====================

When using breezy within the ``brz`` program (for instance as a brz
21
plugin), breezy's global state is already available for use.

When using bzrlib within the ``bzr`` program (for instance as a bzr
21
plugin), bzrlib's global state is already available for use.
26
To use breezy outside of ``brz`` some global state needs to be setup.

progress bars, logging setup appropriately for your program. The easiest
29
way to set all this up in the same fashion ``brz`` does is to call
30
``breezy.initialize``.

This returns a context manager within which breezy functions will work
33
correctly. See the pydoc for ``breezy.initialize`` for more information.

34
34
(You can get away without entering the context manager, because the setup
35
35
work happens directly from ``initialize``.)
37
In Python 2.4 the ``with`` keyword is not supported and
38
so you need to use the context manager manually::
40
# This sets up your ~/.bzr.log, ui factory and so on and so forth. It is
41
# not safe to use as a doctest.
42
library_state = bzrlib.initialize()
43
library_state.__enter__()
48
library_state.__exit__(None, None, None)

====================

To run command-line commands in-process::
43
from breezy.commands import get_command
56
from bzrlib.commands import get_command
45
58
cmd = get_command('version')
48
61
This will send output through the current UIFactory; you can redirect this
49
elsewhere through the parameters to `breezy.initialize`.
62
elsewhere through the parameters to `bzrlib.initialize`.

Manipulating the Working Tree
53
66
=============================
54
Most objects in Breezy are in files, named after the class they contain.
67
Most objects in Bazaar are in files, named after the class they contain.
55
68
To manipulate the Working Tree we need a valid WorkingTree object, which
56
69
is loaded from the workingtree.py file, eg::
58
from breezy import workingtree
59
wt = workingtree.WorkingTree.open('/home/jebw/brztest')
71
from bzrlib import workingtree
72
wt = workingtree.WorkingTree.open('/home/jebw/bzrtest')
62
75
This gives us a WorkingTree object, which has various methods spread over
104
If you want to add files the same way ``brz add`` does, you can use
117
If you want to add files the same way ``bzr add`` does, you can use
105
118
MutableTree.smart_add. By default, this is recursive. Paths can either be
106
119
absolute or relative to the workingtree::
108
121
wt.smart_add(['dir1/filea.txt', 'fileb.txt',
109
'/home/jebw/brztesttree/filec.txt'])
122
'/home/jebw/bzrtesttree/filec.txt'])
112
125
For more precise control over which files to add, use MutableTree.add::
114
wt.add(['dir1/filea.txt', 'fileb.txt', '/home/jebw/brztesttree/filec.txt'])
127
wt.add(['dir1/filea.txt', 'fileb.txt', '/home/jebw/bzrtesttree/filec.txt'])
173
186
Generating a log is, in itself, simple. Grab a branch (see below) and pass
174
187
it to show_log together with a log formatter, eg::
176
from breezy import log
177
from breezy import branch
189
from bzrlib import log
190
from bzrlib import branch
179
192
b = branch.Branch.open('/path/to/bazaar/branch')
180
193
lf = log.LongLogFormatter(to_file=sys.stdout)
181
194
log.show_log(b, lf)
184
Three log formatters are included with breezy: LongLogFormatter,
197
Three log formatters are included with bzrlib: LongLogFormatter,
185
198
ShortLogFormatter and LineLogFormatter. These provide long, short and
186
199
single-line log output formats. It's also possible to write your own in
187
200
very little code.
237
250
To branch you create a branch object representing the branch you are
238
251
branching from, and supply a path/url to the new branch location.
239
The following code clones the brz trunk branch (the latest copy of the Breezy
252
The following code clones the bzr.dev branch (the latest copy of the Bazaar
240
253
source code) - be warned it has to download 60meg so takes a while to run
241
254
with no feedback::
243
from breezy import branch
245
b = branch.Branch.open('bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/brz/')
246
nb = b.controldir.sprout('/tmp/newBrzBzranch').open_branch()
249
This provides no feedback, since Breezy automatically uses the 'silent' UI.
256
from bzrlib import branch
258
b = branch.Branch.open('http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev')
259
nb = b.controldir.sprout('/tmp/newBzrBranch').open_branch()
262
This provides no feedback, since Bazaar automatically uses the 'silent' UI.
252
265
Pushing and pulling branches
280
293
This performs a Lightweight checkout from an existing Branch::
282
from breezy import bzrdir
295
from bzrlib import bzrdir
284
297
accelerator_tree, source = bzrdir.BzrDir.open_tree_or_branch('http:URL')
285
source.create_checkout('/tmp/newBrzCheckout', None, True, accelerator_tree)
298
source.create_checkout('/tmp/newBzrCheckout', None, True, accelerator_tree)
288
301
To make a heavyweight checkout, change the last line to::
290
source.create_checkout('/tmp/newBrzCheckout', None, False, accelerator_tree
303
source.create_checkout('/tmp/newBzrCheckout', None, False, accelerator_tree
