Unable to obtain solvable filelists

[ghost]

How can one obtain the filelist of a solvable? Tried solvable.lookup_idarray(solv.SOLVABLE_FILELIST)

The filelist is not an idarray, but a list of (dirname id, basename) pairs, so lookup_idarray cannot work. You have to use a dataiterator to iterate over the filelist:

for dm in s.pool.Dataiterator(s.id, solv.SOLVABLE_FILELIST, "",
solv.Dataiterator.SEARCH_SUBSTRING|solv.Dataiterator.SEARCH_FILES):
print dm.str()

Sorry about that SEARCH_SUBSTRING, it's currently the only way to force stringification
of the (dirid, string) tuple. I'll fix that.
I'll also add a Solvable.Dataiterator constructor to simplify the code a bit.

(Oh, I forgot that you also need to add SEARCH_COMPLETE_FILELIST if you want to get all files, not just the filelist from the main primary file.)

Ok, with the latest commit it's a bit easier:

for dm in s.Dataiterator(solv.SOLVABLE_FILELIST, None, solv.Dataiterator.SEARCH_FILES):
print dm
