Python way to clone a git repository

Is there a Python way without using a subprocess to clone a git repository? I'm up for using any sort of modules you recommend.
There is GitPython. Haven’t heard of it before and internally, it relies on having the git executables somewhere; additionally, they might have plenty of bugs. But it could be worth a try. How to clone: import git # pip install gitpython git.Git("/your/directory/to/clone").clone("git://gitorious.org/git-python/mainline.git") (It’s not nice and I don’t know if it is the supported way to do it, but it worked.)
