Make it possible to import pytcp as a library

ccie18643 / PyTCP

PyTCP is a fully functional TCP/IP stack written in Python. It supports TCP stream-based transport with reliable packet delivery based on a sliding window mechanism and basic congestion control. It also supports IPv6/ICMPv6 protocols with SLAAC address configuration. It operates as a user space program attached to the Linux TAP interface.

Make it possible to import pytcp as a library #6

Closed shoham-b closed 1 year ago

shoham-b commented 2 years ago

Currently, pytcp can be run as a script, using pytcp.py

It would have been nice to be able to import it as a library.

To do this a few things should be done -

add setup.py\pyproject.toml file.
either import relative or import including the root - pytcp.
encapsulate stack.py in an exposed class.
extract config.py to a configuration class, with the possibility of getting it from a file.

I'd love to do that, just opening an issue to open it up for discussion.

I was actually thinking about this for some time but never really got chance to get to it. Please feel free to work on it. Just make sure you use the PyTCP_2_6 branch. Thank you.

This is going to be implemented in 2.7.
