#Debinterface

This is a simple Python library for dealing with the /etc/network/interfaces file in most Debian based distributions.

Changelog:

1.0 - Dec 15 2012

Read, writing, and editing supported.

Specify file locations in constants.py

Example useage:

import debinterface

# Get a collection of objects representing the network adapters.
adapters = debinterface.interfaces()

# You get a list you can iterare over.
# Each adapter has an 'export()' method that returns a dictionary of its options.

# You can print the name of each adapter as follows:
for adapter in adapters:
	item = adapter.export()
	print(item['name'])

# Write your new interfaces file as follows:
# Any changes made with setter methods will be reflected with the new write.
adapters.writeInterfaces()

# A backup of your old interfaces file will be generated at the location
# specified in constants.py (Default '/etc/network/interfaces.old')
