A simple Python library for dealing with the /etc/network/interfaces file in most Debian based distributions.
Project description
This is a simple Python library for dealing with the /etc/network/interfaces file in most Debian based distributions. This is forked from https://github.com/dggreenbaum/debinterface to refactor it and maybe extends it with wpa_supplicant handling
Complete documentation is on Read the docs
Example usage
You’ll find way more examples here
import debinterface
# Get a collection of objects representing the network adapters.
adapters = debinterface.Interfaces().adapters
# You get a list you can iterare over.
# Each adapter has an 'export()' method that returns a dictionary of its options.
# You can print the name of each adapter as follows:
for adapter in adapters:
item = adapter.export()
print(item['name'])
# Write your new interfaces file as follows:
# Any changes made with setter methods will be reflected with the new write.
interfaces = debinterface.Interfaces()
interfaces.writeInterfaces()
# A backup of your old interfaces file will be generated when writing over the previous interfaces file
# By defaults these paths are used :
# INTERFACES_PATH='/etc/network/interfaces'
# BACKUP_PATH='/etc/network/interfaces.old'
# Paths can be customized when instanciating the Interfaces class:
interfaces = debinterface.Interfaces(interfaces_path='/home/interfaces', backup_path='/another/custom/path')
# By defaults, interfaces file is read when instanciating the Interfaces class, to do it lazyly:
interfaces = debinterface.Interfaces(update_adapters=False)
interfaces.updateAdapters()
