True, that is very unpythonic. I guess apt_pkg is a very thin and straight wrapper for the underlying C++ (or is it C?) library. > should be automatic.

It's been a long time since I haven't coded in C for Python, but it mustn't be more complex to call apt_pkg.init() from there than to call any other function from apt_pkg, so if you actually need the module for something, having to call apt_pkg.init() beforehand doesn't add any significant complexity to your code. -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
