Given that the interface would be very likely a layer just below the 
CLI, there is unlikely to be a significant increase in the repository 
size (in the width - the deltas will of course increase the depth ;) ) 
as the CLI would just become a thin layer above the higher level methods 
- and you may find that the CLI layer can get simplified as a result. At 
least that has been my experience with my own [non-python] work.
