Doing: import yum yb = yum.YumBase() yb.rpmdb.returnPackages(pattern='gimp') ...gives a little less at about 0.3 per. multiple runs of the last line. So, yeh, we are still "a lot" slower than rpm. News at 11, doing more costs time and C is faster than python. But I have to wonder what you are doing that the "yum list installed" times are causing you problems. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
