Hi:
I've been searching for python bindings for alpm and I found this <http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2011-April/012896.html>
The problem is that I want to use it and I the functions doesn't seems to work. Also I tried pycman scrit and I got some errors.
Note: I installed the pyalpm package from AUR
I want to use it, but I just simply doesn't know how. I think this comment will fit too to the developers of libalpm, Ok, I can work with the C headers, but I will need a minimal example of how to interface with the lib. Something really simple, like test app, not the pacman code pls
Thxs in advance.
PS: The reason, I'm trying to make a pacman front-end, but as pacman is already a front-end of libalpm, then I'm trying to make other libalpm front-end.

Hello, There is plenty of example code in pyalpm sources. Learn to use 'pydoc' to get the documentation for individual functions, read code in the tests/ subdirectory, and read pycman's source code. I don't know what else I could do. pycman *is* the minimal example. libalpm is not an easy thing to handle at first sight. Regards, Rémy.
