Hi, I'm firing up an Alioth project[1] to make an Enterprise grade central management interface (ala the Red Hat Network) for Debian, and I'm wondering whether to do it in Perl (which I know) or Python (which I do not, but wouldn't mind a good excuse to learn). I notice that a sizable chunk of the backend Debian housekeeping scripts are Python scripts, but I can't seem to find a package of Debian-specific Python classes (is this the case?). I haven't looked for something similar for Perl modules yet. I'd like to avoid reinventing the wheel, and I'm aiming for something that's modular and extensible. At this stage, I'd like a Perl or Python interface to grep-dctrl and possibly an implementation of dpkg --compare-versions Also, does anyone know if Python has a database abstraction layer (like PHP's ADODB)? regards Andrew [1] http://demi.alioth.debian.org/
