Low-to-mid level wrapper for multicast sockets. Simple and cross-platform.
The library is typed, but if you want: DOCS HERE.
Installation
pip install multicast_py

Usage
Creation socket to send multicast packets:
s = MulticastSocket()
s.multicast_ttl = 2 # if needed
s.multicast_loop = False # if needed, POSIX only (on Windows does nothing)
s.set_multicast_if(address='192.168.0.101') # local ip, used almost always

s.sendto(b'Multicast message', (group_address, group_port)) # send multicast message

Creation socket to receive multicast packets:
s = MulticastSocket()
s.reuse_addr = True # if needed
s.multicast_loop = False # if needed, Windows only (on POSIX does nothing)
s.bind_multicast((group_address, group_port))
s.add_membership(group_address) # also can specify local address

data = s.recvfrom(1024) # receive multicast message
