rpmfile

Tools for inspecting RPM files in python. This module is modeled after the tarfile module.

Example

import rpmfile

with rpmfile.open('file.rpm') as rpm:

    # Inspect the RPM headers
    print(rpm.headers.keys())
    print(rpm.headers.get('arch', 'noarch'))

    # Extract a fileobject from the archive
    fd = rpm.extractfile('./usr/bin/script')
    print(fd.read())

    for member in rpm.getmembers():
        print(member)

Classes

• rpmfile.RPMFile: The RPMFile object provides an interface to a RPM archive
• rpmfile.RPMInfo: An RPMInfo object represents one member in a RPMFile.

Code in this module was borrowed from:
