dhcpkit 0.9.2

A DHCP library and server for IPv6 written in Python

This package contains a flexible DHCPv6 server written in Python 3.4+. Its purpose is to provide a framework for DHCP services. It was written for ISPs to use in provisioning their customers according to their own business rules. It can be integrated into existing ISP management and provisioning tools. Writing extensions to DHCPKit is very easy!

Configuration format change

Versions up to and including 0.8.x used .ini files for configuration. Starting in version 0.9.0 this has changed to Apache-style configuration based on ZConfig. This provides the huge advantage that sections can be nested and that better type checking and error messages are possible.

Warning

While our intention was to provide a conversion tool, this turned out to be too complex to implement in a reasonable way. This means that you’ll have to write a new configuration file when upgrading.

Please pay attention before upgrading to 0.9!
