Just FYI, RPM2, is a handy dandy perl library that exposes the librpm api.
It is not as
mature as the python bindings though, but it is on its way.

The anaconda/kickstart installer is written in Python, and as such has
extensive RPM capabilities. Capabilities which perl, AFAIK, does not have.
That, plus the ability to re-use code from anaconda is why python is
extensivly used in this community.
