Hello,
what I +- do is I compare:

    lastModified = client.channel.software.getDetails(key, CHANNEL)['last_modified']
    lastModified = time.strptime(lastModified.value, "%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S")
    lastBuild = client.channel.software.getChannelLastBuildById(key, CHANNEL_ID)

If these two times matches, repodata are ready.

BUT: I do not have an idea if this is a valid way to do this.

Regards,
Jan
