Unfortunately dnf does not have machine-readable output (might change eventually [Implement machine-readable output for commands · Issue #867 · rpm-software-management/dnf5 · GitHub](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/867), but I guess that will only be useful in the future…). But a dnf module could bundle a small Python script similar to [GitHub - LINBIT/dnfjson: A wrapper around libdnf that produces JSON output](https://github.com/LINBIT/dnfjson) that can be run as a subprocess with the correct Python interpreter to handle actual operations.
