ZYpp API is a toolkit. It provides not only the package management API but all the classes and components like a LEGO set. In this regard, its goals as an API are very similar to LLVM.
This makes the API complex to wrap in scripting languages, both technically and from the user point of view: the wrapped API does not make much sense for simple tasks.
I couldn't agree more. [...]
Now, how this API would look like? Lets collect use cases. Where possible I would prefer actual client code examples in C, python, etc together with the use case (only usecases could lead to a committee-taste API).
Remember that we had this dicussion back in December last year. libzypp-bindings had a "new_api" branch created for this. But it needs active collaboration to evolve into something useful.
