The API is available in python as well, but very little to do with command 
line options of rpm :)

You just set the same transaction/problemfilter flags as you would in 
C/C++. For example the equivalent of --force would be 

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