In addition to "apt_pkg" and "apt_inst" (that are thin wrappers around the c++ libapt code) a new python module "apt" is provided since version 0.6.13 of python-apt. It is a more python like interface to work with libapt (it uses apt_pkg internally). Although there are already applications written against the new apt python interface the API may change in the future and should not be considered stable. If in doubt, please contact deity@lists.debian.org. WARNING !!! The API is not 100% stable yet !!! Style Guides: ------------- See ../doc/source/coding.rst
