Hi,

OLPC have a security client that runs pre-root-mount in the initramfs
which is quite complex. It is written in Python. As such, we need python
in the initramfs.

What's the best way to include python in a dracut initramfs?

One idea: we could create a separate module which installs all the files
identified by "rpm -q --filesbypkg python". But that's obviously not
distro-portable. It could work for us but I'd prefer that we're able to
share the work we're doing with others. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Daniel
