Firstly Jason, sorry for no one responding for 2 months.

I'm doing some work with the Red Hat bugzilla and really need

performance increase of calling getbugs with a big list of bugs instead
of letting it do the multicall. So I figure I'd just pass
multicall=False to the constructor, but it fails:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'multicall'
I have limited understanding of python, but it seems that the kwargs get
passed all the way down to BugzillaBase.__init__ which bails if it gets
anything other than user, password, url or cookiefile.
Thanks for the report. Indeed this has been busted for a while, and I fixed it
upstream:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/python-bugzilla.git/commit/?id=8b1a472dc...
However multicall=True is the default behavior, so that option is only useful
for turning it off.
Also, I really need to get flags back from getbugs, which requires
you
pass an extra_fields argument containing 'flags'. Is it at all possible
to do this with python-bugzilla or should I just bypass it and make an
xmlrpc call myself?
Yes:
bz =
Bugzilla(url="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/xmlrpc.cgi")
fields_i_need = ["flags", "component", ...]
buglist = bz.query(bz.build_query(component="python-bugzilla",
include_fields=fields_i_need)
If you don't specify every field you need, you'll see a large slow down as we
need to hit xmlrpc again. But the above is the fastest way of doing things.
