My understanding is that there isn't really any module for Python - folks 
manually open a shell or use os.system or os.open to run a command line. 
There is a project going on at cvshome.org... called libcvs, for perl and 
java.... but nobody yet appears to be working on a python version...

Many folks apparently are more happy with moving to subversion, than 
continuing to support CVS. The PyPy project, for example, uses subversion. 
Building the server is said to be a bear, according to folks who ought to 
know, like AMK. But installing and using it as a client is quite easy.
