hgweb.cgi

support hooks written in python.

to write hook in python, create module with hook function inside.
make sure mercurial can import module (put it in $PYTHONPATH or load it
as extension).  hook function should look like this:

def myhook(ui, repo, hooktype, **kwargs):
   if hook_passes:
      return True
   elif hook_explicitly_fails:
      return False
   elif some_other_failure:
      import util
      raise util.Abort('helpful failure message')
   else:
      return
      # implicit return of None makes hook fail!

then in .hgrc, add hook with "python:" prefix:

[hooks]
commit = python:mymodule.myhook

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# An example CGI script to use hgweb, edit as necessary

import cgitb, os, sys
cgitb.enable()

# sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib") # if not a system-wide install
from mercurial import hgweb

h = hgweb.hgweb("/path/to/repo", "repository name")
h.run()
