utmp 0.2

utmp/wtmp reader

Pure-Python library to decode/read utmp and wtmp files. Please note that there is an alternative library which uses the underlying C API: pyutmp

This package requires Python 3.4.

Usage

The utmp.read function decodes a binary utmp/wtmp stream and yields record objects:

with open('/var/log/wtmp', 'rb') as fd:
    buf = fd.read()
    for entry in utmp.read(buf):
        print(entry.time, entry.type, entry)
