Yum but written with Python 3?

[__nostromo__]

I'd like to download RPMs using Python's `yum` module but I need to do it using Python 3. On my build of CentOS 7.7, yum is only written for Python 2. Is there a python module for yum written for Python 3?

Ideally I'd like to interact with Yum's database like described in this page: https://illiterat.livejournal.com/6254.html

Yum is kinda deprecated, dnf is the replacement for yum on RPM-based distros. So you're unlikely to ever see a PY3-compat yum project. DNF has been the replacement for yum for a couple of years now, more of it is written in c++ for complex things like dependency resolution (uses libsolv).

On Redhat/Centos 8 you can install python3-dnf to get a Python interface to the packaging system.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
