ietf-data - Access the IETF DataTracker and related resources

https://github.com/glasgow-ipl/ietfdata

This project contains Python 3 libraries to interact with, and access, the (IETF data tracker)[https://datatracker.ietf.org], (RFC index)[https://www.rfc-editor.org], and related resources.

Getting started

The project uses Pipenv for dependency management. To begin, run:

pipenv install --dev -e .

to create a Python virtual environment with appropriate packages install. Then, run:

pipenv shell

to start the virtual environment, within which you can run the scripts.

Once the virtual environment is started, running:

python3 tests/test_datatracker.py 

will run the test suite for the datatracker module. Running:

python3 tests/test_rfcindex.py

Will test the rfcindex module.
