Simple Python interface to Arch Linux package manager (pacman).

Requires Python 3.

• Refresh master package list: pacman.refresh()
• Install a package: pacman.install("php")
  • Install multiple packages: pacman.install(["php", "php-fpm"])
  • Install a package, and don't install dependencies that are already installed: pacman.install("php", needed=True)
• Remove a package: pacman.remove("php")
  • Remove multiple packages: pacman.remove(["php", "php-fpm"])
  • Remove and purge package: pacman.remove("php", purge=True)
• Upgrade all packages: pacman.upgrade()
  • Upgrade specific packages: pacman.upgrade(["php", "php-fpm"])
• List all installed packages: pacman.get_installed() (returns dict of id, version, upgradable status)
• List all available packages: pacman.get_available() (returns dict of id, version, repo name)
• Get info for a package: pacman.get_info("php") (returns dict, info labels as keys)
• Determine if package came from the AUR or not: pacman.is_aur("php")
• Get uninstalled dependencies of a package: pacman.needs_for("php") (returns list of package names)
• Get installed packages that depend on this one: pacman.depends_for("php") (returns list of package names)
• Check if a package is installed: pacman.is_installed("php") (returns bool)
• Use an AUR helper instead of pacman: pacman.set_bin("yay")
