Almost every FLOSS project has a way to be informed about bugs in their applications. There are several applications providing this service, such as Bugzilla and SourceForge. Those applications keep information since a bug is reported, passing through several states until it is solved. Bicho is a powerful tool to get and analyse that information. This tool is GNU GPLv2 or later licensed.
Bicho firstly checks the presence of a configuration file providing details for the next run. After that, depending of the type of bug tracker system, it creates a back-end to manage this information. There are two basic types of back-end, one supporting the bug tracking system deployed in SourceForge, and the other supporting Bugzilla. Each back-end gets the links of the bugs, retrieve all available information from that location, and stores it in a database. As well, Bicho uses the python's config parser to process the configuration file.
