What’s New In python-apt 1.7

Changed

• Starting with 1.6.1 and 1.7~alpha1, the exception raised when passing objects of a different cache to apt_pkg.DepCache is apt_pkg.CacheMismatchError, and apt.cache.Cache will automatically remap open packages and versions to a new cache.

Added

• The class apt_pkg.PackageRecords can now lookup custom fields using records[key] and key in records.
• All code is now statically typed. Some methods from apt_pkg and apt_inst might still be missing or more strict than necessary.
• A new method apt.cache.Cache.fix_broken() has been added.
