Patch for Python 3 Support
by Ralph Bean
Hello all,
I created a patch to update python-bugzilla to work on both python 2
and python 3. The unit tests all pass under both py2.7 and py3.2.
I have tested the login and query commands by hand on py2.6, py2.7,
and py3.2.
http://threebean.org/patches/python-bugzilla-Python3-support.patch
The patch is against the master branch (7ca8a60). If I should
recreate it against another branch, please let me know.
I'm also willing to update and maintain a spec file supporting both
versions if and when that time comes.
Cheers-

python-bugzilla mods for new bugzilla.redhat.com fields
by Jared Morgan
Hi there all.
Firstly, thank you *so* much for this awesome tool.
In Red Hat Engineering Content Services, we depend on this tool to be able to extract Release Note content from Bugzilla. It saves us days of hand-writing release notes in XML.
We can edit the CCFR directly in bugzilla then export the contents using a wrapper script around the python-bugzilla tool. The wrapper script was initially devised by Lee Carlon, and has recently undergone significant rework by Scott Mumford.
With the recent changes to Bugzilla Release Note fields, I've had to get some mods done to the fields the tool supports. Lee Newson made these changes for us in short order so we could produce release notes using the new fields to meet a GA deadline.
Now the dust has settled, I wanted to share the work Lee Newson has done to the python-bugzilla tool with the list.
His email with an overview of mods done to the script is forwarded below for reference.
If you want to get your hands on these mods and implement them officially in the tool, we would love to help make that happen.
I think the mods Lee has done add real value to the already excellent tool, and I feel it would benefit people who use other bugzilla instances (maybe not the Doc_Type and Doc_Text fields specifically, but certainly the Target_Release field).
Hope you find this info interesting at a minimum, and worthy enough to perhaps serve as a basic RFE with solution.
Cheers, and thanks again for your work.

Can't set multicall=False
by Jason L Tibbitts III
I'm doing some work with the Red Hat bugzilla and really need the
performance increase of calling getbugs with a big list of bugs instead
of letting it do the multicall. So I figure I'd just pass
multicall=False to the constructor, but it fails:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'multicall'
I have limited understanding of python, but it seems that the kwargs get
passed all the way down to BugzillaBase.__init__ which bails if it gets
anything other than user, password, url or cookiefile.
Also, I really need to get flags back from getbugs, which requires you
pass an extra_fields argument containing 'flags'. Is it at all possible
to do this with python-bugzilla or should I just bypass it and make an
xmlrpc call myself?

Small typo in imports
by Björn Wingman
I found a typo in the imports of __init__.py. I hope this patch format
comes across ok.
