how to remote control Bugzilla (Python preferred)

Question

I'd like to control Bugzilla 2.17.7 from a script to : change comments, key set, create bugz, etc

My tries : - Bugzilla tools do not document any example : so I ignore how to do it - LegNeato : always request remoteobjects for setup - Pyzilla : from the provided example I have an exception

So: what is the best way to remote control bugzilla with Python ?

PS :Python is preferred because I hardly read Perl but other languages could be ok

The bztools module allows you to access the Bugzilla API from Python. Since you are using an old version of Bugzilla, I think you need to patch your installation. From the Bugzilla API page:

If you are on 3.4 or below, you need a patch and a template. These are shipped in the BzAPI distribution, in the patches directory, from version 0.8 onwards. See the INSTALL file for details.
