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.

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.
