python-dpkg is the start of an effort to reimplement dpkg-dev. This python module will contain all the supporting code for working with dpkg data- and filetypes. A few of those have already been written (dpkg-shlibdeps, dpkg-parsechangelog and dpkg-checkbuilddeps) and will be released seperately later on.
The code and documentation are available online at http://www.wiggy.net/code/python-dpkg.xhtml . You can also track development using subversion: the repository is available at http://svn.wiggy.net/repository/python-dpkg/ . Please keep in mind that this is still very new code and is guaranteed to have a number of bugs and lots of missing features. Another thing to note is that this code is licensed under GPL version 2, not the usual 'version 2 or later'. That is a conscious choice and not something that I intend to change.
