The Index file and the Working copy

pygit2.Repository.index

Index read:

>>> index = repo.index
>>> index.read()
>>> oid = index['path/to/file'].oid    # from path to object id
>>> blob = repo[oid]                   # from object id to object

Iterate over all entries of the index:

>>> for entry in index:
...     print entry.path, entry.hex

Index write:

>>> index.add('path/to/file')          # git add
>>> del index['path/to/file']          # git rm
>>> index.write()                      # don't forget to save the changes
