[Bug 1216655] Re: Calling InitSystem() or InitConfig() raises AttributeError

[Julian Andres Klode]

Not only InitSystem and InitConfig were replaced. Everything was
converted to PEP-8-style names, and all apt_pkg.Get*() were converted to
classes. There is a tool at /usr/share/python-apt/migrate-0.8.py that
finds problems (It might produce false positives, but should find
everything that needs to be ported).

The short porting guide is at:

  http://apt.alioth.debian.org/python-apt-doc/whatsnew/0.7.100.html
#porting-your-applications-to-the-new-python-apt-api

and the table of old Get*() functions and the classes that replace them
is at:

  http://apt.alioth.debian.org/python-apt-doc/whatsnew/0.7.100.html
#real-classes-in-apt-pkg

You can also find this document in a local installation of python-apt-
doc.

  Calling InitSystem() or InitConfig() raises AttributeError

Bug description:
  Starting with python-apt 0.8.9.1ubuntu1 in Saucy, calling InitSystem()
  and InitConfig() fails:

  $ python -c 'import apt_pkg; apt_pkg.InitSystem();'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'InitSystem'

  Downgrading to 0.8.8.2ubuntu1 results in the expected behavior:

  $ echo $?
