Simple non-web based bug tracker

python windows bug-tracking non-web
balpha picture balpha · Jul 31, 2009 · Viewed 8.9k times · Source

There's a ton and and a half of questions and even more answers here concerning people looking for bug trackers. However all of them (that I found) seem to be about web based solutions. Since I'm working on a local project where I don't want to set up a web / DB server, and I don't want to use a hosted tracker either, I'm looking for something that runs locally.

  • very preferably open-source
  • pure Python or (at least) Windows executable
  • no need for a database server (sqlite is obviously fine)
  • Doesn't have to be fancy, just the basic bug / issue tracking functionality; just a little bit more than my current TODO text file or an Excel table.

Any suggestions?

Trac might be a bit too over engineered, but you could still run it locally via tracd on localhost.

It's:

  • opensource.
  • pure Python
  • uses sqlite

But as I said, might be too complex for your use case.
