ya that works, but when I use:#!/usr/bin/python

rpm.addMacro("_dbpath", "/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat")
ts = rpm.TransactionSet()
ts.openDB()
rpm.delMacro("_dbpath")

mi=ts.dbMatch("name",sys.argv[1])
for hdr in mi:
    print "%s-%s-%s" % (hdr["name"], hdr["version"], hdr["release"])

it doesn't !!
