Globbing with python rpm module?
Question: The following code uses the `rpm` module to query the version of an installed
package. What I would like to do is to query a set of packages specified by a
glob, for example searching for `"python*"` rather than `"python"`. Is this
possible using the `rpm` module?

    
    
      1 #!/usr/bin/python
      2 
      3 import rpm
      4 
      5 ts = rpm.TransactionSet()
      6 mi = ts.dbMatch("name", "python")
      7 for i in mi:
      8     print i['name'], i['version']
    

`


Answer: 
    import rpm
    ts = rpm.TransactionSet()
    mi = ts.dbMatch()
    mi.pattern('name', rpm.RPMMIRE_GLOB, 'py*' )
    for h in mi:
       # Do something with the header...
