Thanks qwerty12!

There is

- Qwerty's post stated -
"osso-product-info -q OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_VERSION"

But i havn't tried using it

At least it works

I was expecting that there is a method yyyy in module xxxx, which I could just call and get the version number. Like
version = yyyy.xxxx()

I got qwerty12's trick to work with the following code. To me that still looks like calling a command line command from the python code :-)

import os
a = os.popen("osso-product-info -q OSSO_PRODUCT_RELEASE_VERSION")
version = a.next()
a.close()

AHhh good point - dont think there is an api/lib for everything yet

- a few i have read looked great until i saw the line (FIX: Blah blah not working, needs to be added)

Work in progress! - if you do find a better way, would be nice to know

anyone know a way to list all repo's and determine enabled v disabled?

Well.. this probably won't work and is certainly overly complicated.. but I don't know of a way to list repo's directly from apt. This makes use of tricks with find and grep, both of which are probably bastardized versions on the N900 and will probably not work.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python                                                               
import commands                                                                 
                                                                                
enabled = commands.getoutput('find /etc/apt -name *.list -exec grep -v "^#" {} \
; | grep -v "^$"')                                                              
disabled = commands.getoutput('find /etc/apt -name *.list -exec grep "^#" {} \; 
| grep -Ev "^#\W*$"')                                                           
                                                                                
print "Enabled Repositories \n\n" + enabled                                     
                                                                                
print "\n\nDisabled Repositories \n\n" + disabled

Fortunately.. you could totally python-ify this which would work on the N900... just search for all *.list files in /etc/apt and open them, then look for a # at the beginning of the line. Those with a # are disabled, those without are enabled.

If you mean disabled in the sense that it's been unticked (well, the "disabled" button for a particular catalogue ticked) in the Application Manager, you can look in the file /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues and disabled catalogues will have an <disabled/> element.

That's kind of cool... will that show repo's that are in the normal sources.list as well as hildon-application-manager.list (or whatever that one was called)? Or just those that HAM controls? (I would assume the latter.. but never know.)

Pretty sure it's the latter, AFAIK.
