Listing the files of an installed rpm package

Today I was working with some packages at work that needed some updated python bindings in order to work.  It was getting some old libraries that were apparently first in the path, so I needed to get rid of the old stuff.
rpm --query --filesbypkg subversion
This listed all the files that the subversion rpm had installed.  This ended up being very useful.
Hopefully this helps somebody else when tracking down a file.
