gatenet 0.12.6

Python library for gateways, networks, and devices.

gatenet

Gatenet is a Python toolkit for networking: diagnostics (ping, traceroute, DNS, ports), simple HTTP/TCP/UDP building blocks, service discovery, and Wi‑Fi hotspot management. It now includes a lightweight hooks system for easy extensibility.

Install

pip install gatenet

Python 3.10+ • Linux/macOS/Windows (feature availability varies by platform)

Highlights

• Diagnostics: ICMP/TCP ping, traceroute, port scan, DNS, IP geolocation
• HTTP/TCP/UDP: minimal server/client utilities
• Discovery: pluggable detectors with a registry
• Hotspot: create/manage Wi‑Fi access points (Linux/macOS)
• Hooks: shared event bus across modules (HTTP, clients, discovery, diagnostics)

Quick start

HTTP server

from gatenet.http_.server import HTTPServerComponent

server = HTTPServerComponent(host="127.0.0.1", port=8080)

@server.route("/status", method="GET")
def status(_req):
    return {"ok": True}

server.start()

HTTP client

from gatenet.http_.client import HTTPClient

client = HTTPClient("http://127.0.0.1:8080")
res = client.get("/status")
print(res["data"])  # {"ok": True}

TCP / UDP

from gatenet.client.tcp import TCPClient
from gatenet.client.udp import UDPClient

# TCP
tcp = TCPClient("127.0.0.1", 9000)
tcp.connect()
print(tcp.send("ping"))
tcp.close()

# UDP
udp = UDPClient("127.0.0.1", 9001)
print(udp.send("ping"))
udp.close()

Diagnostics

from gatenet.diagnostics import ping
from gatenet.diagnostics.traceroute import traceroute

print(ping("1.1.1.1", count=2))
print(traceroute("example.com"))

Discovery

from gatenet.discovery.ssh import _identify_service

print(_identify_service(22, "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.9p1"))

Hotspot (platform-dependent)

from gatenet.hotspot import Hotspot

hotspot = Hotspot(ssid="GatenetAP", password="SecurePass123!")
if hotspot.start():
    print("running")
    hotspot.stop()

Hooks & events

from gatenet.core import hooks, events

hooks.on(events.HTTP_BEFORE_REQUEST, lambda req: print("HTTP", req.command, req.path))
