MAC address manipulation library
Project description
l2address
Micro library I'm planing to develop by using TDD approach, just to try it.
Example usage
import l2address mac = l2address.mac_address(0xff00ff) print(mac) # 00:00:00:ff:00:ff mac += 0xff00 print(mac) # 00:00:00:ff:ff:ff mac -= l2address.mac_address('00:00:00:ff:ff:f0') print(mac) # 00:00:00:00:00:0f print(mac == l2address.mac_address(0xf)) # True print(l2address.mac_address('ffffffffffff') + 1) # 00:00:00:00:00:00 print(l2address.mac_address(0xff, l2address.PeriodFormatter(4))) # 0000.0000.00ff
Features
At the current moment supports:
- Create MAC address from int
- Create MAC address from str
- Sum and Substitution of MAC addresses (and with ints)
- Convert MAC to string
- Different formatting types (00:00:00:00:00:00, 0000.0000.0000, 00-00-00-00-00-00, and so on)
- Validation of format when parsing from string. There are predefined formats, but can be extended, see: Extending Formats
Extending Formats
import l2address from l2address.utils import per_join # Just inherit l2address.Formatter and use new formatter class MyMacStarFormatter(l2address.Formatter): def format(self, value, max_value): return per_join(self._to_clean_str(value, max_value), '*', 2) def _get_validator_regexp(self, _str, max_value): return r'^([\da-fA-F][\da-fA-F]\*?){6}' try: l2address.mac_address('AB*ab*bc*de*ff*ff') except ValueError: print('Failed as expected') # Failed as expected mac = l2address.mac_address('AB*ab*bc*de*ff*ff', MyMacStarFormatter()) print(mac) # ab*ab*bc*de*ff*ff print(mac.to_str(l2address.ColonFormatter())) # ab:ab:bc:de:ff:ff print(l2address.mac_address(0xff).to_str(MyMacStarFormatter())) # 00*00*00*00*00*ff
Plans
- Multiplication by int
- Different lengths of MAC address (there are 64 bit MAC addesses I believe)
