Is it possible to grab the source-code from a Google Code repository (hg) using wget or curl?

Else using Python?

Thanks for all suggestions

FYI: I'm on a shared WebFaction host, so can't install hg

Google Code provides HTTP interfaces to the repositories if I'm not mistaken. Example: mercurialeclipse.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg – Oliver Salzburg♦ Jul 3 '12 at 15:04
So what, a recursive wget call using awk? – A T Jul 3 '12 at 15:07
wget --mirror or something similar, should be fine. – Oliver Salzburg♦ Jul 3 '12 at 15:15
Can you write it into an answer so I can accept it? – A T Jul 3 '12 at 15:24

You should be able to use Google's HTTP interface to their repositories.

The easiest way would be to grab a raw file link:

And then dissect the URL.

You can then download the files with curl, or mirror the whole repository (or, at least the current revision) with wget. For example

wget --mirror https://typo3scripts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
