The slight tendency away from Python APIs is another thing. Since Isabelle/Scala is the official system programming language for quite some time already, I've occasionally checked the situation for JVM-based access to Mercurial operations. Projects like http://hg4j.com/ are not very far yet. Also interesting is http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CommandServer which is a third way to the API vs. external executable problem: some hg process is started once and used with a certain protocol over the pipe.
This project looks more relevant than hg4j, and it uses the CommandServer already: https://bitbucket.org/aragost/javahg/overview
So it might become relevant for the Prover IDE some day. Makarius _______________________________________________ isabelle-dev mailing list isabelle-...@in.tum.de https://mailmanbroy.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/mailman/listinfo/isabelle-dev
