By now i've implemented just alpm_db* (with a Database class), alpm_pkg* (with a Package class) and alpm_option* (with an Alpm class). If anyone wants to take a look it's on berlios.de, project pyalpm (you'll need pyrex to compile the module). Of course is totally not documented :). Any help in the project would be very appreciated, so if anyone is intersted feel free to contact me ;) Ciao, Stefano P.S.: a minimal example of usage is >>> from alpm import Alpm >>> pm = Alpm() and then do what you want with the pm object methods :) -- Email.it, the professional e-mail, gratis per te: http://www.email.it/f Sponsor: Ti vestiamo dalla testa ai piedi e anche sotto se lo vuoi !
