pyroute2 ======== Python netlink library. The main goal of the project is to implement complete NETLINK\_ROUTE family as well as several other families (NETLINK\_NETFILTER etc.) Current feature status see in STATUS.md sample ------ More samples you can read in the project documentation. Low-level interface:: from pyroute2 import IPRoute # get access to the netlink socket ip = IPRoute() # print interfaces print ip.get_links() # stop working with netlink and release all sockets ip.release() High-level transactional interface, IPDB:: from pyroute2 import IPDB # local network settings ip = IPDB() # create bridge and add ports and addresses # transaction will be started with `with` statement # and will be committed at the end of the block with ip.create(kind='bridge', ifname='rhev') as i: i.add_port(ip.em1) i.add_port(ip.em2) i.add_ip('10.0.0.2/24') The project contains several modules for different types of netlink messages, not only RTNL. installation ------------ `make install` or `pip install pyroute2` requires -------- Python >= 2.6 * test reqs (optional): **python-coverage**, **python-nose** links ----- * home: https://github.com/svinota/pyroute2 * bugs: https://github.com/svinota/pyroute2/issues * pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyroute2 * docs: http://peet.spb.ru/pyroute2/ * list: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/pyroute2-dev
