Are there any easy ways to grab the git repository (on GitHub) version hash with Python code? I want to use this to handle versioning of 'dev' releases of my software on github.

def git_version():
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
gitproc = Popen(['git', 'rev-parse','HEAD'], stdout = PIPE)
(stdout, _) = gitproc.communicate()
return stdout.strip()

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
gitproc = Popen(['git', 'show-ref'], stdout = PIPE)
(stdout, stderr) = gitproc.communicate()
for row in stdout.split('\n'):
if row.find('HEAD') != -1:
hash = row.split()[0]
break
print hash

Like this ?
import subprocess
ref = subprocess.check_output("""
git 2>/dev/null show-ref | awk '/refs\/heads\/master/{print $1}'
""", shell=True)
print ref
Adapt it if you have something else than master

Via python. run the
git command via Popen and parse the output in python.tMC
No need to pipe it to awk. Just read
stdout from the Popen object and parse the text in Python. Python is very good as string handling!

Sorry, had to go with tMC's answer. check_output is from 2.7, I'de like backwards compatibility for now.
You can also use the GitHub API for this.
