> Is there a module that lets me use Python as a CVS client?

I looked into making a C extension to CVS, but the CVS 1.9 and 1.10
sources isn't set up for nice integration into another product (which is
very unfortunate).  The best that I've done is made modules to parse
the output for cvs-log, cvs-history and the work area files
(./CVS/Entries, ./CVS/Tag, etc.).  I use them at work quite a bit, but
there are still a lot of bugs I haven't found.

Some _really_ old stuff (about 2-3 years old) is available at
<URL: ftp://starship.python.net/pub/crew/arcege/Pycvs.tar.gz>.

Some newer, buggy, package-based stuff is at
<URL: http://www.shore.net/~arcege/python/Pycvs-0.0.tar.gz>.
