Good idea. What about dak - does it have its own code too? And the BTS? apt's code seems to think 4.22.. > 4.22.3 , Frank. It does look weird though. What's with having to call apt_pkg.init() manually? That's uncool. It should be automatic. Simple in a pure Python package though I know nothing about building binary modules for python.
