Python wrapper of libmnl using ctypes, under heavy development
see examples
not prepared yet
- libmnl
- Python >= 2.6
- test reqs (optional): python-coverage, python-nose
- libmnl: http://netfilter.org/projects/libmnl/
- pymnl: http://pymnl.wikispot.org/
- "nlstruct.py" is helper for representing netlink structs by ctypes.
- symbols are defined in "_libmnlh.py".
- binding functions in "_cproto.py".
- tweaking for Python in each "_nlmsg.py", "_attr.py", "_socket.py", "_callback.py"
- letting those be Python class in "_init_.py"
