Hello, I'm João Estêvão and I've been busy making a libalpm extension for python. It'll be very useful to anyone, like myself, making frontends in python/pygtk/pyqt. It has an object oriented approach and supports iterators of packages and groups. So far it hasn't had much testing but you can find the code here: http://pwp.netcabo.pt/tranquility/pynealpm/pynealpm-0.0.0.tar.bz2 Comments appreciated. -- A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. -- Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
