chordnet 0.1.0

Implementation of the chord peer-to-peer networking protocol, introduced by Stoica et al.

chordnet

Python implementation of the chord protocol, introduced by Stoica et al This library began as a group project for cs536 at Purdue University in Fall 2024.

Installation

pip install chordnet uv add chordnet

Usage

to stay consistent with the language from the original paper, we recommend importing this package as ring:

from chordnet import Node as ring

This fits with the concept of "joining" an existing ring network, or creating a new one (ring.join(...), ring.create(). Examples follow this practice.

High level roadmap

• port over code from course project
• set up repo/project workflows, including using uv
• make sure nodes can run on a single computer (same IP, diff't ports)
• add robust testing
• refactor to use asyncio
