There's the (terminally ill documented last time I looked [1]) python-apt, if you're looking for parsing package files and such stuff. > Also, does anyone know if Python has a database abstraction layer (like > PHP's ADODB)? Python has the db-sig interface. The only call that wasn't standardized too well [2] was connect for actually connecting to a database. I personally would recommend python, but I'm not one of those "all scripting languages but my favorite are garbage" people. [3] Kind regards Thomas 1. I offered a version of my silly little dependency browser written in python to the last who asked. 2. Again, last time I looked. 3. But hey, python is the only language suggested in this thread that has a decent name. -- Thomas Viehmann, <http://beamnet.de/tv/>
