This has been covered before here - in response to your questions:

https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/rpm-python-list/2004-March/000088.html

Force is equivalent to:

ts = rpm.TransactionSet()
ts.setProbFilter(rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACEPKG | 
                 rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACEOLDFILES | 
                 rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_REPLACENEWFILES |
		 rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_OLDPACKAGE )
...
ts.run(callback)
