Python script to remove unwanted arch linux packages

What this script does?

This script removes orphan packages in Arch Linux. Orphan packages can be seen using pacman -Qdt command. This script aims to delete all the packages shown by pacman -Qdt command at once.

Usage

script.py -c orphans.txt      # Writes a list of orphaned packages to orphans.txt
script.py -r orphans.txt      # Removes all packages listed in orphans.txt without removing dependencies
script.py --rd orphans.txt    # Removes all packages listed in orphans.txt along with their unneeded dependencies

Future plans

Call the python script using a bash executable file which can then be placed in $PATH to be used hassle-free.
