I recommend using the code in cmd_status as a template for what you
want, rather than calling it directly.

Calling builtins.* command objects gives you no better an API than
running bzr from the command line.

Conversely, doing

from bzrlib import workingtree
tree = workingtree.WorkingTree.open('.')
tree.changes_from(tree.basis())

and other similar things will give you structured data to work with.

Cheers,
Rob
