repomd

This library provides an object-oriented interface to get information out of dnf/yum repositories.

Usage

>>> import repomd

>>> repo = repomd.load('https://mirror.rackspace.com/centos/7/updates/x86_64/')

>>> repo
<Repo: "https://mirror.rackspace.com/centos/7/updates/x86_64/">

The length of the Repo object indicates the number of packages in the repository.

>>> len(repo)
1602

Find a package by name.

>>> repo.find('systemd')
<Package: "systemd-219-57.el7_5.3.x86_64">

Find all packages of a given name.

>>> repo.findall('systemd')
[<Package: "systemd-219-57.el7_5.1.x86_64">, <Package: "systemd-219-57.el7_5.3.x86_64">]

A Package instance has many useful properties.

>>> package = repo.find('systemd')

>>> package.name
'systemd'

>>> package.version
'219'

>>> package.build_time
datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 26, 14, 11, 37)

>>> package.nevr
'systemd-219-57.el7_5.3'

Iterate through packages in the repository.

>>> for package in repo:
...     print(package.nvr)
389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-19.el7_5
389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-21.el7_5
389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-24.el7_5
(and so on)
