How to get the type of change in P4Python
Question: I'm trying to work with P4Python, and hoping to find a way to be able to check
what's the type of change of each file in the changelist. I mean, I'd like to
know if it's a modification, or whether this file has **Marked for Add** or
**Marked for Delete**.

My code is something like

    
    
        p4.connect()
        clientSpec = p4.fetch_client()
        depotList = p4.run_opened("-c", changelistNumber)
        p4.disconnect()
    

So, I have the list of files in the changelist, and now I can iterate over
them, and I wish to remove the ones which are **Marked for delete** for
example.

Your help is very appreciated!


Answer: The result of `p4.run_opened` is an array that has a map for each opened file.
This map has the following keys:

    
    
    'haveRev'
    'rev'
    'clientFile'
    'client'
    'user'
    'action'
    'type'
    'depotFile'
    'change'
    

In order to find out the type of change, iterate over the array and ask each
item for the 'action'. In one of my current changelists, the first file is
opened for 'edit':

    
    
    import P4
    p4 = P4.P4()
    p4.connect()
    p4.run_opened()[0]['action']
    p4.disconnect()
    

will return: 'edit'
