"Yum" (the Fedora package manager) is written in Python, so it provides
both a good example of how to work with the Python rpm module and how to
do things like handle dependencies -- which you'll have to do if you
roll your own.
If I were you, I would probably just use Yum to do all the heavy
lifting, rather than trying to re-implement it. Then your work boils
down to:
IF (installed version of package) != (version of package in config
file) THEN
yum -y install <package>
END IF
