No, log is for use in a working directory; you want rlog. Most CVS
commands come in pairs -- foo and rfoo. foo is for use in a working
directory, rfoo is for direct access to the repository. And you don't
specify the entire path to the repository file, you just specify the
path relative to your $CVSROOT. You also specify the working file name,
not the RCS file name. So, assuming your $CVSROOT is correctly set to
/usr/local/cvs, the command you want is:
cvs rlog project/file.py
