Pycopia

Pycopia is a free and open source project providing a framework for the rapid development of applications related to telecommunications networks, process control, web, data processing, and more.

Pycopia is divided up into a collection of sub-projects, each concentrating on a specific problem domain or category. The following lists the current set of sub-projects.

pycopia-aid
General purpose objects that enhance Python's core modules. You can use these modules in place of the standard modules with the same name. This package is part of the collection of python packages known as pycopia.

pycopia-utils
Some functions of Pycopia require root privileges. This module contains some helper programs so that Pycopia scripts can run as non-root, but still perform some functions that require root (e.g. open ICMP socket, SNMP trap port, and syslog port). It also includes the Python 2.5 readline module for older Pythons.

pycopia-core
Core components of the Pycopia application framework. Modules used by other PYcopia packages, that you can also use in your applications. There is a asynchronous handler interface, CLI tools, and misc modules.

pycopia-CLI
Pycopia framework for constructing POSIX/Cisco style command line interface tools. Supports context commands, argument parsing, debugging aids. Modular design allows you to wrap any object with a CLI tool.

pycopia-debugger
Enhanced Python debugger. Like pdb, but has more inspection commands, colorized output, command history.

pycopia-process
Modules for running, interacting with, and managing processes. A process manager for spawning and managing multiple processess. Support for Python coprocess. Expect module for interacting with processes. Can connect with pipes or pty. Objects for status reporting and process information.

pycopia-SMI
Python wrapper for libsmi, providing access to MIB/SMI data files. Also provides a nicer API that is more object-oriented. Includes node interators.

pycopia-mibs
Collection of pre-compiled MIBs for Pycopia SNMP. These are generated Python modules, produced by mib2py program.

pycopia-SNMP
SNMP protocol module for Python. Provides SNMP query, traps, and device manager objects.

pycopia-storage
Pycopia persistent storage and object model. Provides a storage build on top of Durus that defines container types and some persistent objects useful for networks and network device testing.

pycopia-QA
Pycopia packages to support professional QA roles. A basic QA automation framework. Provides base classes for test cases, test suites, test runners, reporting, lab models, terminal emulators, remote control, and other miscellaneous functions.

pycopia-net
General purpose network related modules. Modules for updating DNS, modeling metworks, measuring networks, and a framework for the creation of arbitrary chat-style protocols.

pycopia-audio
Audio and telephony modules for Python. Provides modules for controlling the alsaplayer program, and interfacing to mgetty/vgetty. Also includes a basic telephone answering machine, with email message delivery (you need a voice modem). NOTE: I can't test this code right now, and the alsaplayer interface is changing. But it all used to work...

pycopia-XML
Work with XML in a Pythonic way. Provides Python(ic) Object Model, or POM, for creating, inspecting, or modifying basic XML documents. Partially validates documents. This framework requires a DTD for the XML. Never "print" XML tags again.

pycopia-WWW
Pycopia WWW tools and web application framework. Provides FCGI servers, XHTML page generator with functional style interfaces, and lightweight web application framework. Designed to work closely with the lighttd front-end server.

pycopia-vim
Extend Vim with Python helpers for Python IDE functionality. Includes enhanced syntax files, color scheme, and key mappings for Python development with the vim editor.
