Python wrapper for Perforce p4 command-line client.

## Features

- Python wrapper for the `p4` command using [marshal](https://docs.python.org/3/library/marshal.html).
- Built with [Pydantic](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic).
- Fully typed.
- Built for scripting.

## Installation

```bash
python -m pip install pyforce-p4
```

## Quickstart

```python
import pyforce

connection = pyforce.Connection(host="localhost:1666", user="foo", client="my-client")

# Create a new file in our client
file = "/home/foo/my-client/bar.txt"
fp = open(file, "w")
fp.write("bar")
fp.close()

# Run 'p4 add', open our file for addition to the depot
_, infos = pyforce.add(connection, [file])
print(infos[0])
"""
ActionInfo(
action='add',
client_file='/home/foo/my-client/bar.txt',
depot_file='//my-depot/my-stream/bar.txt',
file_type='text',
work_rev=1
)
"""

# Run 'p4 submit', submitting our local file
pyforce.p4(connection, ["submit", "-d", "Added bar.txt", file])

# Run 'p4 fstat', listing all files in depot
fstats = list(pyforce.fstat(connection, ["//..."]))
print(fstats[0])
"""
FStat(
client_file='/home/foo/my-client/bar.txt',
depot_file='//my-depot/my-stream/bar.txt',
head=HeadInfo(
action=,
change=2,
revision=1,
file_type='text',
time=datetime.datetime(2024, 3, 29, 13, 56, 57, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
mod_time=datetime.datetime(2024, 3, 29, 13, 56, 11, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
),
have_rev=1,
is_mapped=True,
others_open=None
)
"""
```

Pyforce has functions for the most common `p4` commands
but can execute more complexe commands with `pyforce.p4`.

For example, pyforce doesn't have a function to create a new client workspace,
here is how to create one using `pyforce.p4`.

```python
import pyforce

connection = pyforce.Connection(port="localhost:1666", user="foo")

# Create client
command = ["client", "-o", "-S", "//my-depot/my-stream", "my-client"]
data = pyforce.p4(connection, command)[0]
data["Root"] = "/home/foo/my-client"
pyforce.p4(connection, ["client", "-i"], stdin=data)

# Get created client
client = pyforce.get_client(connection, "my-client")
print(client)
"""
Client(
name='my-client',
host='5bb1735f73fc',
owner='foo',
root=PosixPath('/home/foo/my-client'),
stream='//my-depot/my-stream',
type=,
views=[View(left='//my-depot/my-stream/...', right='//my-client/...')]
)
"""
```
