There are multiple Git implementations/bindings in Python: pygit2, Dulwich and GitPython .
Below is a simple comparison of the 3 packages.
| pygit2 | dulwich | GitPython | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implementation | bindings to libgit2 | pure Python | bindings to the git command |
| License | GPLv2 | Apache, GPLv2 | BSD 3 |
| Feature | complete | incomplete | complete |
pygit2 is preferred if the GPLv2 license is not an issue, otherwise GitPython is preferred.
