pytap2 2.3.0

Description:

pytap2 2.3.0

Fork of PyTap that supports Python 3.

Requirements
The ifconfig command line utility must be installed for pytap2 to operate.
To install ifconfig on Debian/Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install net-tools
To install ifconfig on RHEL/Rocky Linux/Fedora:
$ sudo yum install net-tools


Installation
You can install, upgrade, and uninstall pytap2 with these commands:
$ pip install pytap2
$ pip install --upgrade pytap2
$ pip uninstall pytap2


Usage
Using as a context manager automatically brings up the device and closes it at the
end of the with block.
from pytap2 import TapDevice

with TapDevice() as device:
device.ifconfig(mtu=1300)
device.write(b'0000')
Or manually call up() and close().
from pytap2 import TapDevice

device = TapDevice()
device.up()
device.ifconfig(mtu=1300)
device.write(b'0000')
device.close()
The fileno() method is defined, so that the device object can be passed directly
to select().
