Python Module Library

I’m maintaining the following Python packages:

Historic Note: Until May 2012, some of the projects below have been hosted at origo.ethz.ch, but Origo closed it’s service.

• gitflow Python edition: A pure-python reimplementation of Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen’s branching model.

  The implementation was originally started by Vincent, and Hartmut completed the rewrite. In July 2012 Vincent deleted the python-rewrite branch from his repository and closed the pull-request. So I decided to fork into a new project.

• python-shellwords (outdated): Parse a string into words like a POSIX shell does. This module is no longer

  When using Python 2.3 or later, you may want to use the standard module shlex instead of shellwords. Simply use this code:

  import shlex
  words = shlex.split(input_line)
  

Please help funding further projects!

If you find one of these modules usefull, I ask you to donate some money. This will enable me spending more time on free software and developing further Python modules.
