Python looking glass implementation with wsgi

Requires:

Python 2.6+

Standard python modules:

• telnetlib

• os

• socket

• cgi

• wsgi_ref

• traceback

• random

• argparse

Setup:

To run out of the box just clone the repo or install using pip install py-lookingglass or easy_install py-lookingglass, then:

# python -m lg -h

Or you can use it as WSGI callback

lg.lookingglass(name="Looking Glass", cmds=['command','list'], hosts=[('password','ip',port,'name'), qptd=quaggaport])

Any additional hacks can be applied before init of class

Check help(lg.lookingglass) for more info

QUAGGA users:

Change the integer if applicable (www-dev is 2784)

# python -m lg -q 2784

to the port number of quirk.

Small quirk using inetd and a shell script (you can also listen only on localhost if running py-lookingglass and quagga on the same system)

inetd.conf

www-dev stream tcp nowait root /path_to_script/pt.sh pt.sh
