Basic API (low-level)

• public libgit2 structs should be python objects (classes) - Example: git_repository => Repository()
• nameing convention: strip git_struct_name_* - Example: git_repository_config() => Repository.config()
• iterations should be implemented as a generator, if this is not possible we need to change libgit2 (other bindings will benefit from this as well)
• every method should map to one libgit2 function (exceptions are iterations)
• return values of methods
  • no lists use generators instead
  • no dictionaries use tuples or objects instead
• no instantiation of objects use strings instead (important for generators)

Using Markup

Example

When using object-oriented programming in python you must use the

print "Good-bye World!"
