I will try it
No NSS here:

Anyway, the function looks simple, so it might be safer to just
rewrite it to Python, with no new dependencies.
Still, we need to be careful in a case where RPM team would decide to
upgrade rpm version comparison algorithm. It has been fixed for quite
some years (the core wasn't changed since 2008) but occasionally there
are additions that expand supported formats like addition of dpkg-style
versions in 2012.
I don't think we need to care about that, as we use versioning scheme
compatible with the original comparison algorithm on "our" platforms.
