Branch:: 1.0.x

I really don't understand the purpose of this change or why it's done the way it is. It concerns me, since we're calling out to an external program and commenting out code known to work in some environments. Please add a more detailed description discussing the rationale for the change and how this fixes the problem.

Now I change to use p4 API.

We can't use echo like this. We might not be running on a system where it works. Please use the p4 api if at all possible, too.

Must restore password after executing p4.run_login(), or will fail to post requests. Don't know the reason. it seems to be a bug of p4svn.

Using "p4 login" is what my patch (http://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/1445/) also does. It should now include all of the changes Christian requested some time ago.
What it does different is that it won't enforce "p4 login" but makes it optional depending on a configuration setting.

What I don't understand is why you call the login command with each connect. Running the login command should replace both user and password attributes of the p4 class with the ticket credentials so those will be used for further p4 calls. I don't see the necessity to redo that step with each connect.
