Here's some information i managed to gather by looking at swig source and py code. A lot of help gave cli/test_cli.c, had no clue where to start from.

Very first success:

$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 15 2006, 19:23:25)
[GCC 3.3.6 (PLD Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import poldek
>>> poldek.lib_init()
>>> ctx = poldek.poldek_ctx()
>>> print ctx
<C poldek_ctx instance at _e0b70708_p_poldek_ctx>
>>> ctx.load_config("foo")
error: foo: No such file or directory
0
>>>

• ctx.load_config(CONFIGFILE)

CONFIGFILE string path to config file

• ctx.configure(CONSTANT, “value”)

>>> import poldekmod
>>> ctx.configure(poldekmod.POLDEK_CONF_PM, "vrpm")
1
>>> ctx.configure(poldekmod.POLDEK_CONF_CACHEDIR, "/tmp/cache")
1

poldek_ts(ctx, FLAGS)

where flags can be (from poldek_ts.c::poldek_ts_setf):

• POLDEK_TS_INSTALL
• POLDEK_TS_UNINSTALL
• POLDEK_TS_VERIFY

>>> ts = poldek.poldek_ts(ctx, 0)
>>> ts = poldek.poldek_ts(ctx, poldekmod.POLDEK_TS_INSTALL)

>>> cctx = poldek.poclidek_ctx(ctx)
>>> cmd = cctx.rcmd_new(ts)
