Where is the most authoritative/complete source of documentation on rpm-python module?

Question

Trying to learn how to use the rpm-python module (i.e. "import rpm" on RHEL5). I can't find any tutorials that are complete or recent. Specifically regarding how to install and manage rpm's on a system. Anyone?

Answer 1

There is some documentation on Fedora website.

Answer 2

If you are on RHEL then you could seriously consider using the yum APIs instead of rpm-python directly ... the API is much easier to use.

Answer 3

Centos 5.6 uses rpm 4.4.2.3. I'd go with the Developer Documentation
