Greg -

I know you are on the rpm list so I'm sure you saw the posting about 
some rpm python utilities and example code but for others, check out 
http://people.redhat.com/laroche/rpmutils.tar.gz  There's some good 
stuff there and I think it could be helping in building this system.

I'm hoping to have some other feedback on the actual process in a bit 
as I've built something similar for work..
