Subject: ANN: Python classes for dealing with RPM files...
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 17:45:37 +0200

I've written some Python classes that gives us access to all the data 
stored in an RPM file or an RPM database entry. The resulting object 
can be treated like a dictionary, with rpm tags as keys.

Find it at:

http://imsb.au.dk/~mok/linux/doc/rpmfile.py

example:

>>> from rpmfile import *
>>> x = RPMdb("python")
>>> x["NAME"]
'python'
>>> x["RELEASE"]
'5'
>>> x["VERSION"]
'1.5.1'
>>> x["REQUIRENAME"]
['ld-linux.so.2', 'libc.so.6', 'libdl.so.2', 'libm.so.6',
'libcrypt.so.1', 
'libgdbm.so.2', 'libncurses.so.4', 'libreadline.so.3',
'libtermcap.so.2', 
'libz.so.1', '/bin/sh', '/usr/bin/env', '/usr/bin/python']

Comments are welcome,

/Morten
