Package: python-apt Version: 0.7.93.1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'm using python-apt's apt_pkg.Cache class to determine which packages are installed. I have to use a try...except statement to check whether a package is in the cache first, though, since using the "in" operator to do so generates an exception: Python 2.5.5 (r255:77872, Feb 1 2010, 19:53:42) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import apt_pkg >>> apt_pkg.init() >>> cache = apt_pkg.Cache() Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done >>> 'foo' in cache Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: argument of type 'apt_pkg.Cache' is not iterable >>> I wish that this worked. -- Matt http://ftbfs.org/kraai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
