The apt_pkg Python interface will provide full access to the internal libapt-pkg structures allowing Python programs to easily perform a variety of functions, such as:

- Access to the APT configuration system
- Access to the APT package information database
- Parsing of Debian package control files, and other files with a
similar structure
The included 'aptsources' Python interface provides an abstraction of the sources.list configuration on the repository and the distro level.
