yah so the rpm-python documentation is just about non-existent - I think
the only real docs are in people's code.

take a look at rpmUtils.py both in yum and the one in up2date. I've
tried to document the functions I've put together in yum as much as is
reasonable, I guess. at least it is a good starting place.

there are also some misc scripts in
http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/misc that have some fairly simple
functions in them for dealing with rpms.
