pyparted supports new libparted API functions, but those functions are not yet available in an official release on ftp.gnu.org. On Fedora systems, the parted-1.9.0-23 package and later revisions contain the necessary API support.
2.0.0
--------------
Complete rewrite of pyparted. There are now two Python modules exposing the pyparted API:
_ped Low level module interfacing with libparted. parted Higher level module written in Python building on _ped.
