dear joey, thank you for responding about the python debconf interface: much appreciated. i'll take a look at it in detail: for now, it looks basically like it runs debconf-communicate.
what i'm planning to do might - and i say might, because i don't know (yet!) what debconf-communicate does - not _quiiiite_ fit into that. basically i need a database (proper one, really, with relational syntax) with aaaaabsolluuutely eeeeeverything in it. i might use this as an excuse to write that in-memory in-python relational database thing i always thought would be a cool idea *lol*. so, for example, i plan to be able to provide a tree-view of the entire debconf database (hey i just discovered a port of google-web-kit to python, so cool! http://pyjamas.pyworks.org) in several different views / perspectives; to provide 'favourites' or 'weighted-by-most-recent' settings, that sort of thing. if debconf-communicate can return things like 'complete list of all package names' and 'search package names by regex' and 'search option names by regex' then _great_. if not - then i _would_ help, if debconf-communicate was written in python - but ... y'know... somehow i have this _real_ funny feeling it's written in perl :) l. -- -- lkcl.net - mad free software computer person, visionary and poet. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
