Hello, I am pleased to announce that I tagged version 0.4 of pyalpm. Pyalpm is a personal project based on initial code by Imanol Celaya to deliver Python bindings for libalpm. It runs on Python 3.2 (the C library is probably compatible with Python 3.1) and currently wraps most of libalpm API from pacman 3.5. New features since version 0.2 include : * wrapping of transaction functions (allowing to install/upgrade/remove packages) * allowing most libalpm callbacks to be Python functions * pycman now supports almost all pacman options Pyalpm also includes a nearly full-featured rewrite of pacman in python, dubbed "pycman". The goals of "pycman" are multiple: * be identical in usage with pacman (except for the ugly output and user non-interaction) * ensure pyalpm wraps enough functions to be able to develop a package managing front-end on top of it * have a quicker overview of source code that replicates pacman's behaviour * help testing pyalpm with real world usage * demonstrate code snippets for basic usage of pyalpm * serve as a basis for quickly hacking a variant of pacman * provide a Python library that reads and applies settings from pacman.conf Pyalpm can be found at ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/pyalpm/pyalpm-0.4.tar.gz (when FTP site will be synchronized) and is meant to be compilable on other platforms than Archlinux, possibly with modifications to CPPFLAGS. A PKGBUILD is available on AUR for Archlinux users. Regards, Rémy.
