Hey guys, after this neat announcement, since it looks like we're about to have a great GUI for alpm with GTK+, I think I could take the big step and make Shaman hard-depend on kdelibs for the next version (1.3). In fact many of the changes I'm making really require a lot of hassle to keep the Qt only and KDE version play together. Please share your opinion (given that Shaman is inside community, too). Do you think it is worth it/can create problems to make Shaman hard depend on KDELibs?

Hello pacman-dev list members,
I'm the developer (meissna) behind the python libalpm wrapper: pyalpmm You can find more information in this thread (1st post): http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60711&p=1
As a very short abstract: pyalpmm implements a thin very high level wrapper around the alpm library written in python.
One of the main goals in the medium term are a transparent regular repos and aur support ... (like mixing aur and repo packaged in -S) Several steps are taken towards this goal, like building (mmacman -BI some_repo_or_aur_pkg) supports both transparently, searching ( mmacman -Ss query) also supports both: regular repos and aur. The next step is already the "-S functionality" milestone, which needs proper AUR pkg dependency resolution - this is in construction, or maybe "conception" ;)
And, dunno if this is usual, but one line about me personally: My name is Markus Meissner, living and studying in Germany/Frankfurt - right now I'm in Munich for my graduation and I'm 25years old...
So, hi all!
And I just read the announcement of a graphical interface based on your project : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79764
I did not try pyalpmm myself, but it is a very good news that we finally seem to have working python bindings, that other people managed to use :) I know there were several attempts before, but it didn't look like they went that far.
