Hallo,
we are making pacman frontend in python and qt4, but we have problem with progressbar. We don't know how to catch information about downloading packages. Do you know how simply get it? Thank's for any suggestion.

Any reason for using pacman directly and not libalpm ?
This is the main change added in pacman 3, and was done specifically for this purpose.

By the way, Georg Grabler aka STiat was working on python bindings : pyalpm
see his blog there : http://213.129.245.26/~blog/
According to the last posts, he's quite busy currently, but maybe you could bring some help ?

He caught me on Jabber.
We solved it, and he is able to contribute to the project now.
Shining is right, i'm very busy currently... pyalpm could be finished already if i had time.
Yours,
Georg
