I wasn't aware there was an API aside from the detectors/reactors API but in this case, detectors are not appropriate.
Can you point me towards the documentation? Would it be something like this?

http://www.roundup-tracker.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DatabaseWrapper

?

I guess you just mean writing a python script which imports the relevant roundup classes?

BTW, what I want to do is append a message to an existing issue, not create a new issue and then append a message to it.

Thanks for your help.
