In the end, I looked at all the various rpm-python examples around, including Dave Malcolm's rpmgrok and decided if a os.system call to rpm2cpio is good enough for him then it's good enough for me ;) I pity Martin's efforts to do rpm extraction without rpm2cpio now that I've looked into it. I'll ping him later and see how that went.
