1）查看p4 API 主页
2）支持几乎所有的语言：

二 p4python
1）安装（以windows为例）
下载和安装python2.6；（可以安装activepython）
下载和安装p4python26；（ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r09.2/bin.ntx86/p4python26.exe）
2）安装后（C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages）
文件：P4.py + P4.pyc + P4API.pyd + P4Python-2009.2-py2.6.egg-info。其中P4API.pyd为python对p4的extension模块，里面定义了 P4API.P4Adapter可惜看不到源码，P4.py 里面包含了p4 class的定义，p4class从P4API.P4Adapter继承。
3）p4.py
在p4.py中定义了
• P4
• P4Exception
• DepotFile
• Revision
• Integration
• MergeData
• Spec
其中主要的p4 class定义如下：
import P4API
class P4(P4API.P4Adapter):
"""Use this class to communicate with a Perforce server
Instances of P4 will use the environment settings (including P4CONFIG)
to determine the connection parameters such as P4CLIENT and P4PORT.
This attributes can also be set separately before connecting.
To run any Perforce commands, users of this class first need to run
the connect() method.
It is good practice to disconnect() after the program is complete.
