There are lots of Python tools written with Git:

* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vcs
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dulwich
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg-git
* http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/tutorials/gitfs.html ("GitFS")
  * https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2 (C)
  * https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython (Python)
* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrpo (subprocess wrapper for git, hg, bzr,
svn)
