Can anyone point me to some documentation on the Python scripts that
available for configuring systems from a Kickstart %post?

I'm looking to configure the system via a documented API as much as
possible instead of using various text manipulation techniques on
configuration files. I'm hoping that using the Python scripts will be
more stable between releases. Does this match experience?

Also, is there any sort of Python module shipped with RedHat Linux
that I can use to resolve package dependencies? Currently there are
packages in the base install that I don't want in my base install.
So, I have to specify those with -package_name. But, if one of the
packages I want in a particular configuration depends on one of those
packages, I do want to install it. Currently that means manually
resolving dependencies. This is very fragile as one would expect and
needs a ton of tweaking for each new release. Alternatively, is there
a better way to specify my package needs to the Kickstart installer?

Thanks,
