Project description

General information

Pyiface is a package that exposes the network interfaces of the operating system in an easy to use and transparent way. Typical usage looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pyiface
from pyiface.ifreqioctls import IFF_UP

# Get all available network interfaces
allIfaces = pyiface.getIfaces()
for iface in allIfaces:
    print(iface)

# Get a specific interface by name
eth0 = pyiface.Interface(name='eth0')

# view eth0 info
print(eth0)

# bring eth0 up
eth0.flags = eth0.flags | IFF_UP

# set ipv4 address of the interface
eth0.addr = (socket.AF_INET, '1.2.3.4')

# set ipv6 address of the interface
eth0.addr = (socket.AF_INET6, '2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334')
