py-radix-sr 1.0.2

Installation

Installation is a breeze via pip:

pip install py-radix

Or with the standard Python distutils incantation:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

The C extension will be built for supported python versions. If you do not want the C extension, set the environment variable RADIX_NO_EXT=1.

Tests are in the tests/ directory and can be run with python setup.py nosetests.

Usage

A simple example that demonstrates most of the features:

import socket
import radix

# Create a new tree
rtree = radix.Radix()

# Adding a node returns a RadixNode object. You can create
# arbitrary members in its 'data' dict to store your data
rnode = rtree.add("10.0.0.0/8")
rnode.data = {"blah": "whatever you want"}

# You can specify nodes as CIDR addresses, or networks with
# separate mask lengths. The following three invocations are
# identical:
rnode = rtree.add("10.0.0.0/16")
rnode = rtree.add("10.0.0.0", 16)
rnode = rtree.add(network = "10.0.0.0", masklen = 16)

# It is also possible to specify nodes using binary packed
# addresses, such as those returned by the socket module
# functions. In this case, the radix module will assume that
# a four-byte address is an IPv4 address and a sixteen-byte
# address is an IPv6 address. For example:
binary_addr = socket.inet_aton("172.18.22.0")
rnode = rtree.add(packed = binary_addr, masklen = 23)

# Exact search will only return prefixes you have entered
# You can use all of the above ways to specify the address
rnode = rtree.search_exact("10.0.0.0/8")
# Get your data back out
print(rnode.data["blah"])
# Use a packed address
addr = socket.inet_aton("10.0.0.0")
rnode = rtree.search_exact(packed = addr, masklen = 8)

# Best-match search will return the longest matching prefix
# that contains the search term (routing-style lookup)
rnode = rtree.search_best("10.123.45.6")

# Worst-search will return the shortest matching prefix
# that contains the search term (inverse routing-style lookup)
rnode = rtree.search_worst("10.123.45.6")

# Covered search will return all prefixes inside the given
# search term, as a list (including the search term itself,
# if present in the tree)
rnodes = rtree.search_covered("10.123.0.0/16")

# There are a couple of implicit members of a RadixNode:
print(rnode.network)     # -> "10.0.0.0"
print(rnode.prefix)      # -> "10.0.0.0/8"
print(rnode.prefixlen)   # -> 8
print(rnode.family)      # -> socket.AF_INET
print(rnode.packed)      # -> '\n\x00\x00\x00'

# IPv6 prefixes are fully supported in the same tree
rnode = rtree.add("2001:DB8::/3")
rnode = rtree.add("::/0")

# Use the nodes() method to return all RadixNodes created
nodes = rtree.nodes()
for rnode in nodes:
        print(rnode.prefix)

# The prefixes() method will return all the prefixes (as a
# list of strings) that have been entered
prefixes = rtree.prefixes()

# You can also directly iterate over the tree itself
# this would save some memory if the tree is big
# NB. Don't modify the tree (add or delete nodes) while
# iterating otherwise you will abort the iteration and
# receive a RuntimeWarning. Changing a node's data dict
# is permitted.
for rnode in rtree:
        print(rnode.prefix)
