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.
