Hello Friends, I am in immediate need of some help and suggestions. I want to read all the rpms currently installed in my system and then process the information. I adopted some weired method to do this but its slow. #Generate the rpm list and store in the temporary file os.system("rpm -qa >> /tmp/rpm.tmp") I want to latter process this data. I want information about all that contents in a particular rpm. If someone has seen the rpm-analyser (http://www.maisondubonheur.com/rpm-analyzer/#about) is would be clear. I would like to have all the info for a particular rpm is its verion, Provider, Packager, Summary etc. Now i want to know what is rpm.py module and whether i can use in for this purpose or any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanxs in advance. Regards, Gautam Pagedar CINS
